Steel, however, tempts the girl with promises of luxury and she marries him although she does not love him. Venger, half-crazed with the shock, becomes a hermit, while Steel and Hilda, his wife, are apparently happy on their country place with their infant son. One day the little one left alone in the garden becomes the prey of a gigantic eagle which swoops down upon the baby carriage, carries away the infant to the nearest nest in the mountains. Venger, the hermit, rescues the child. The man recognizes the baby as belonging to Steel and conceives a revengeful plan to keep the child until it has reached its twenty-first year, rearing it as he would an animal. At the proper hour he plans to present this half-wild boy to the parents and enjoy his revenge. Venger suddenly awakens and is pleased to discover that the plot was only a dream.
