In this romantic melodrama, Barbara Stanwyck plays a pregnant young woman who is abandoned by her callous lover. With only a train ticket, the despondent woman heads for home. While aboard the train she meets a wealthy young couple heading home to happily announce their new baby. The wife is particularly excited for she has yet to meet her in-laws. Stanwyck admires the young woman's beautiful wedding ring and the latter generously allows her to try it on. With no warning the train derails and both the young groom and his bride are killed. Stanwyck survives but is rushed to the hospital where she gives birth. Because the ring is still upon her finger, she is mistaken for the dead girl and taken into the bereaved family's posh home. Fortunately, the accident gives the opportunistic young woman the opportunity to conveniently feign amnesia when they ask her too many personal questions. Still the family accepts her as one of their own and she lives happily until her rat of an ex-boyfriend shows up and threatens to blackmail her. Fortunately, by this time, her "brother-in-law" has fallen in love with her and intervenes.
