When the weaver, Silas Marner, wrongfully loses his job, as well as the woman he loves, he moves to the English countryside village of Raveloe, consumed with bitterness and anger, and becomes a miserly recluse, saving each gold piece he earns. On Christmas Eve his gold is stolen and all seems lost until an abandoned little girl, whom he names Eppie, wanders into his house, bringing joy back into his life.
