On the day he arrives there pretty Diane Lee, the niece of local Rev. David Lee, arrives from Paris. A few days later Kenneth, reverting back to his wild ways, gets drunk and makes a spectacle of himself, but rather than reproving him, Rev. Lee gives him a heart-to-heart talk and gets Kenneth to turn his life around. Meanwhile, the reverend–barely able to get by on the pittance the local vestrymen pay him–asks for a raise but is denied it, being told that he must send Diane away before they’ll even consider giving him any extra money. Soon afterward Kenneth falls gravely ill. His father, hearing of Kenneth’s condition and of his infatuation with Diane, arrives at the village to see his son and isn’t ready for what he finds.
