When Silas Marner is framed by his best friend and wrongly accused of theft, he also loses the girl he loves to that same man. Heartbroken and grieved, the weaver moves to a new town and becomes a recluse, transferring his affections to the gold he receives and hoards in return for his work. After living in bitter solitude for many years, his life is changed when he becomes the guardian of Eppie, a cheery little orphan girl who shows him love and hope again.
