When plant hunter Randolph Graveson is paralysed in an accident, the only thing that keeps his mind alive is the hope that a new variety of peony he discovered will blossom. Then Cedric Hartford - a rival plant hunter - visits and his dog savages the roots. Determined to reclaim this peony, Randolph insists that his daughter Delphina return to Tibet to fetch it, and entrusts her safekeeping to his friend Arnold North. But hot on their trail are Cedric and his nephew, Lorin Courtney. In a race for the prize, Delphina discovers Cedric's evil nature but cannot believe that Lorin could be the same. Though she dare not trust him, will Delphina ever discover Lorin's true value?
