An innocent young guy is unfairly charged with stealing money from the church. Silas departs Lantern Yard for a rural place after having his life destroyed, his faith in God shaken, and his heart torn apart. He devotes himself to his skill and learns to love the gold coins that come from his weaving, which he accumulates and hoards. While Marner is gone on business, a robber in the night alters everything. The weaver has received two penalties! But on a snowy, chilly night, a small girl who can hardly walk enters his house and lies down by the hearth, bringing him salvation. Has he received compensation from heaven for his lost funds? Will Silas retain her?
