Young Clem, tired of city life in Paris, returns to his hometown of Egdon Heath with the hope of opening a rural primary school. Soon after, he meets a beautiful girl, Eustacia. Eustacia is proud and dislikes the monotonous life of the heath, yearning for the prosperity of the city. For this, she resolutely abandons her former lover and actively pursues Clem, hoping to take her to Paris through him. Their marriage is opposed by Clem's mother, so they move out after getting married. Later, due to Eustacia's mistake, Clem's mother tragically dies. This secret is later discovered by Clem, leading to a fierce argument. Eustacia sees her dream of going to Paris shatter and seeks help from the old man to escape. On a stormy night, they both fall into the rapid river.
