Arthur Randall becomes prosperous after divorcing his wife, Laura, and she now attempts unsuccessfully to win him back.

Laura kidnaps the boy, Bertie, and Joan gives chase. Laura's car goes over a cliff, and she is killed. Bertie survives the crash, however, and he and Joan attempt to find their way to a refuge. They become lost in the hills, and Joan manages to keep Bertie from dying until rescue comes.
