The film takes place in an asylum in the countryside. Amid a torrential rainstorm, a janitor wanders through the halls revealing the various patients suffering from mental illnesses. The next day, a young woman arrives and is surprised to see her father, the janitor, working there. Her mother is an inmate in the asylum and had gone insane due to the cruelty of her husband, when he was a sailor. The husband, feeling guilty, took a job at the asylum to care for her. The daughter announces that she is to soon marry a fine young man, but the janitor begins to worry, since society at the time still maintained the prejudiced view that mental illness was inherited. If the young man's family were to learn of the mother’s illness, the marriage might be called off.
