Rose Miqueleon, one of the local parishioners, meets Paul. They are mutually attracted. In the privacy of his room, the young fellow paints a picture of the Madonna, with Rose as the subject. The priest of the parish calls in regard to Paul. The latter's sister finds the painting and brings it to the father. The priest recognizes Rose as the inspiration of the painting. Paul's father becomes furious, while his mother slashes the canvass to bits. Gossip reaches the parents' ears that Paul is paying attention to Rose. One night, taking down his raw-hide whip, the father and mother follow the pair. His anger increasing at every step, the old man is about to burst upon the couple when the pale moonshine peeps softly through the clouds. It awakens memories in the old man's mind and brings back the days when he and his wife were young and in the embrace of romance. The spell wears off, however, and his narrow mind enraged at the course his son is pursuing, he again starts after them. Hiding in the bushes they see Paul tenderly bid Rose good-night and leave, giving her a spray of lilac. The girl, wrapped in her dreams, drops the flower and Paul's father, advancing angrily, picks it up. As he gazes at the love token the moonlight again bathes the landscape and softened by the mighty god of love, husband and wife resign themselves to the inevitable.
