Andrew is swept down the flood. Nan Hopkins, daughter of rich parents, is also swept down. She is attacked by a ghoul who tries to steal her rings, but Andrew swims to her rescue. Next day Florette and Nan are thrown together in the emergency hospital, and telling their stories become friends. On the point of death Florette gives Nan her marriage certificate and pleads that she shall take her place as Andrew's wife. Andrew has become demented and is cared for by a sympathetic farmer.
