A youth's manipulative old mother opposes his marriage to the daughter of a neighbouring farmer and she seems correct when the girl proves false and wishes to marry a handsome wealthy man visiting the township. The son becomes very ill, believing all women - including his mother - false, and the mother's plan of revenge grows until its murderous conclusion is reached ... The daughter is deserted by her new lover and punished by all. (PB)
