The story begins with a silent film sequence during which the good Squire Allworthy returns home after a lengthy stay in London and discovers a baby in his bed. Tom grows up to be a lively young man whose good looks and kind heart make him popular with the opposite sex. He truly loves only one woman, the gentle Sophie Western, who returns his passion. Sadly, Tom is stigmatized as a "bastard" and cannot wed a young lady of her high station.
