When Lord Marmion, a favorite of the king, becomes enamored by
Clara, a rich noble woman, he is willing to stop at nothing to get
her attention. Though Clara is engaged to the heroic Sir Ralph De
Wilton, and he already has a mistress, Lord Marmion views these
issues as minor, and has a plan to overcome them. With the help of
his mistress, a nun named Constance, Lord Marmion forges a letter
than implicates Sir Wilton in the heinous crime of treason. When
the letter is assumed to be legitimate, Sir Wilton is exiled from
the kingdom, subsequently breaking off his engagement to Clara.
Heartbroken and disgusted by Lord Marmion's advances, Clara decides
to join the convent, where Constance is also committed. Also
heartbroken by Lord Marmion's actions, Constance faces serious
consequences at the convent, for she had broken her vows of
celibacy. As she is severely punished, Constance decides to get
revenge on behalf of Clara and Sir Wilton, as she had only helped
her ex-lover to win back his affection. When the secret of the
forgery is revealed, Lord Marmion must face Sir Wilton, who is
determined to restore his reputation and win back Clara's love.
