The first part of the film revolves around Ruth, visualized as a pagan idolatress in her youth. The second part is based more on the Book of Ruth, although a subplot is added, that of the Bethlehemites' initial disapproval of Ruth's pagan past and Naomi's closest kinsman rejecting Ruth as his wife. The non-biblical part ends with the sight of the Moabite girl being sacrificed, from which Ruth flees.
