The town elders pIace the girl in the home of weaIthy aging businessman Isaiah Poster (Gene Lockhart) who comforts the the girl, first as a father, then as a husband. Jenny immediately begins to seduce her new stepson, Ephraim (Louis Hayward), who has loved her since childhood. HeartlessIy playing father against son, she effectively destroys both men and emerges as the richest and most powerful woman in the community.
