In New York, traveling from a French convent to one in Montreal, the novice Fidele Roget is captured by a slaver. Running away, the young woman witnesses a murder. He then meets Jim Webster who is about to commit suicide. She dissuades him and he decides to help her get to Canada. On the way, Jim is arrested for murder and tried. The man confides to Fidele that he was framed by his butler, who killed a man and then built the evidence to accuse him. Fidele realizes that it is the same crime he witnessed and decides to unmask the real murderer. Posing as a servant in Webster's house, she manages to trick the butler and make him confess. Jim is cleared and she gives up life in a convent to become his wife.
