Nora and her sister live in a modest home and are the town's seamstresses. Nora has just given birth to a fine, but illegitimate baby boy. The town's people badger Nora to confess the father's name. The father of the child is very much in love with Nora, but has promised to keep her secret as Nora does not love him, and refuses to marry him. One day a traveling show comes to the village on their yearly tour. They are a strange lot of people, all different types. Tom, one of the actors, spots Nora as she fetches water from the well, and falls for her immediately. He pursues Nora. She pays him no attention, but really is quite taken with the young man. The father of Nora's son notices the romance that is developing and becomes enraged. As the town's constable, he does everything he can to keep Tom and Nora apart, but the more he tries the deeper in love the couple fall. By investigating Tom's past he finds that Tom had once been arrested in Dublin for bigamy. He arrests Tom and tells Nora, thinking that she will then marry him. Nora is indeed hurt but goes to Tom to ask him how he could do this to her. He explains that he took the rap for his brother and served three months in his place. The constable realizes that his plan has failed, and that he has lost his dear Nora for good. As the traveling show packs up to go, we see that Nora will indeed go with Tom, baby in tow, and start new lives for themselves.
