✦ Synopsis
Un nativo de la cordillera oriental de los Cárpatos, Yanko Goorall, sobrevive al hundimiento de un buque al que ha sido enrolado por la fuerza y que ha naufragado en la costa de Eastbay. Desesperado, llega al valle de Colebrook buscando ayuda pero los habitantes del pueblo, gente huraña e ignorante, desconfían de un hombre desaliñado y que no habla su idioma. El hambre, la sed, el frío y el miedo hacen que Yanko casi enloquezca, pero Amy Foster aparecerá para brindarle su bondad. Enamorada, acepta casarse con él y emprenden una vida juntos pero las habladurías y el desconocimiento del origen de su marido harán mella en el débil carácter de Amy.
