Miss Ruth Thorne, a reporter for the city newspaper "Herald", moves to the countryside for six months to look after the house of her aunt Jane Hathaway, who is leaving for Europe. The only thing that her aunt asked Ruth to do in a note, without explaining the reason, was to light a lamp in the east window of the attic every evening. The light from the lamp has been burning continuously for five years, and this ritual must be maintained now.
Ruth begins to immerse herself in the life of a quiet countryside, meets the mysterious Miss Ainsley and a young man, Carl Windield. Carl was also once a reporter for the editorial office of the Herald, where Ruth works, but due to vision problems, he is temporarily unable to work and, on the recommendation of an ophthalmologist, must rest for six months, and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper advised him to follow Ruth.
Feelings gradually develop between Ruth and Carl, and soon they are planning a future together. However, the return of her aunt with a new husband changes the usual course of events, and Ruth moves in with Miss Ainsley for a while. So another couple of months of serene life pass. Karl and Ruth are planning a quick wedding. But one day Miss Ainsley gets out of bed in a completely different mood than usual, and tells Ruth her secret and why the lamp was needed in Aunt Jane's house.
