Coming upon a monastery he tarries for a while and tells the young monk of the outer world. The latter, tired with ambition, leaves the monastery and achieves success in the big city, meeting the girl and marrying her. The traveler returns and in a sensational scene denounces the monk, and the girl learns for the first time of his broken vows. In a terrific conflict of emotions she prays for guidance, and commands him to go back to the monastery. A pathetic parting takes place, and the final scenes show her, four years later, with her baby girl saying her evening prayers, and the monk praying to heaven in his cell, his face illumined by the soft moonbeams falling through the tiny window.
