First, he hates women because they are cowards, and further, he believes that all of his sweethearts have loved him merely because he is rich. Jane, a poor but somewhat proud school teacher, visits her wealthy married sister. Forthwith the sister sets a drag-net for a rich match for Jane. Martin falls into the net and is informed by the intriguing sister that Jane is absolutely without fear. Martin grimly decides to put her to the test. He brings her mice, snakes and vicious dogs, but Jane controls herself and keeps up the semblance of being fearless. As a supreme test, Martin dares her to explore the graveyard at dead of night. She accepts the challenge. As a result of this test, however, she becomes ill. She thanks Martin for teaching her to overcome fear as she can now overcome her fear of poverty and go back to her teaching. Martin, however, now discovers that one who overcomes fear is more than one born fearless. Thus he asks her to be his wife. The end of the matter is that she does not return to teaching.
