A mysterious man calling himself the Steward shows up in town with money from an anonymous donor whom he calls the Lady to buy a garden and turn it into a charitable hospital. It turns out the garden the Lady has in mind was the property of a man who has been dead for 20 years – a man who was her husband. The Lady was banished and driven out of town all those years ago for allegedly driving her husband to commit suicide. Now she is back and she wants revenge against those that she says unjustly ruined her life and deprived her of being with her son, who does not even know that she is alive.
