Her friend, the street master, poor Sam Masterson (Daryl Hickman), comes to find her from the bedroom window, but Martha's aunt catches them. When Sam sneaked out, Martha hit Mrs. Ives on the head, causing her to fall down the long staircase and die. Although Sam didn't see anything, Martha's mentor (played by Roman Boning)'s son Walter O'Neill (played by Mickey Kuhn) witnessed the incident, which was Mr. O'Neill. Martha lied to Mr. O'Neill about this matter, and Walter supported her. [5] Mr. O'Neil suspected what had happened, but presented Martha's description of the incident to the police, stating that the intruder was responsible for it; He used his knowledge to make her marry his son. When the police determined that one of my aunt's former employees was the culprit, two O'Neals and Martha helped convict her; He was executed by hanging.

Later, she was arrested for violating probation regulations and not returning to her hometown. Sam went to Walter to see if he could use his influence to get her released. Walter was convinced that Sam had considered blackmail when he returned, which gave him the motivation to drive Sam out of town. When Martha reacted happily to the news of Sam's return, Walter's jealousy provided an additional motivation. Walter forced Tony to frame Sam. Sam was beaten and driven out of the town, but he was too tough to be intimidated. When everything else failed, Walter made a half hearted attempt to kill Sam, but was easily disarmed. Martha then unintentionally blurted out the couple's fear of extortion, which proved unfounded: Sam said he had not witnessed death. Martha collapsed, lamenting that when he left those years ago, he didn't take her with him, taking away her only chance to gain love and freedom. Sam is in a dilemma between old love and new love.
