Grace Charlton, a general favorite with everybody, is sent to New York to study voice under the leading teachers of the metropolis. During her rise to fame, and her subsequent successful appearance in grand opera, Grace never forgets the lion-hearted Jim Redfern, who has completely won her by his primitive wooing. Much as she loves Jim, she does not hesitate to take sides with her family against him when the feud breaks out anew. Grace receives a telegram that her father has been wounded, and hastens to her humble southern home to direct the fight for revenge waged by her brothers against the Redferns. Later, Grace receives a bullet in her shoulder that was intended for her father. The next night, the Charltons' home takes fire, and they are rescued with great difficulty by old man Redfern and his sons. Jim Redfern's heroism in rescuing Grace has brought the feud to an end, and the story closes with the marriage of Grace and Jim, and the pact of friendship sealed forever between the families of Charlton and Redfern.
