DramaRomance

In a country town, Susie, innocent and big-hearted, quietly gives money to William Jenkins, a man she secretly yearns for, so he can attend college. After he graduates, he returns and becomes the town's minister. However, he never realizes how Susie feels about him and ignores her in favor of Bettina Hopkins, a wild and unfaithful girl who steals his heart. Susie must then find a way to show William that she's loved him all along.
