Robert Evans is a preacher who on weekdays drives a cab, having come up from the Pennsylvania coal mines. He woos a rich woman named Naomi Freshwater and kills her, to inherit her house. Mrs. Freshwater's niece Laura arrives. His efforts toward her only result in a desire to sort out her own life, the house remains hers.
