The true story of Helen Keller, who lost her vision and hearing at the age of two, was considered a hopeless case, but who through the diligent aid of teacher Anne Sullivan became a world-renowned figure of accomplishment and brilliance, as well as an example of the power of the human soul to overcome adversity.

In the home of the stalwart young son and his mother, the girl rescued from the sea grows strong again after her fearful exposure.

But a few days before the wedding the affianced bride disappears, sailing away with a strange man from the city, who has suddenly appeared.
