The film starts with a lovely long shot of the Artist at work in a dappled glade, where he first meets the Miner's Daughter. The Artist asks the Miner for his daughter's hand in marriage, but is denied, so the young couple elope. Years pass, and the Artist becomes known for his talent, providing a good life for his wife and young child. Meanwhile, the old Miner has been crippled in an underground explosion - the flash of which is marked onscreen by two frames tinted bright red, a subtle yet effective trick conveying the shock of the blast. While in the hospital, though he has been gravely injured, the Miner still refuses to forgive the daughter he disowned.
