| Chase St. John is guilt-ridden man who decides to leave England, only on his way out he is robbed and knocked out. Harriet Ward and her family, whose family has only one mortgage payment to make, have made up an imaginary fiance, Captain John Frankenham, to persuade the bank to give them an extension. Harriet and sisters find Chase with a bloody head and bring him home to nurse him back to health. They think Chase has amnesia (which he does not) and tell him he is Captain Frankenham. Chase, choosing to go along with the charade for fun and also to get closer to the attractive Miss Ward, actively pursues Harriet.
As the family gets Chase to help them out with the farm work, Harriet finds herself falling in love for Chase. Chase as well feels a healthy dose of emotion for Harriet, but Chase's guilt over a past carriage accident throws shadows over their love, especially when Chase's blackmailer over the accident becomes angered when Chase refuses to go along with his plans. | ||
