Catherine Sloper, the only surviving child of the Sloper family, is a kind but plain girl, and as such is treated by her widowed father, Dr. Sloper. So when Catherine becomes engaged, Dr. Sloper finds it hard to believe that any man would be interested in her for anything but her inheritance, and sets his mind to separating his daughter from her fiancé.
