'The story opens on Christmas Day at Farmer Morrison's home. William, the son, has been secretly married to Annie, the maid. Old Morrison wishes his son to marry Dora, being unaware of his secret marriage. On his son's confession he turns both he and his wife from his door. Time passes. William becomes the owner of a nice little farm, and his wife presents him with a son. On returning one night from his work, tired and hungry, he has a dispute with his wife, who threatens to leave, and leaves the room. Troubled and worn out he falls asleep and dreams a dream in which he fancies his wife has left him for another man. A mail robbery occurs in the district, and William and three stockmen are falsely accused. After his trial he returns to find his stock and home ruined. Seeking the bush he becomes an outlaw. He is sentenced to death, and as he is placed on the scaffold, the scene changes to where he wakes to find his wife at his side. He becomes reconciled to his father through the man who proved the enemy of his dream.'
