On account of religious differences, Milton, the great poet, is decreed an outlaw, and ordered to leave England. Deborah, his favorite daughter, agrees to accompany her father, who is helpless on account of his blindness, and with the aid of a letter of introduction from Lord Devanant, a man of influence, and an admirer of the poet, they set out. They have not gone far when they are suspected and arrested by a party of soldiers. Milton is carried to London and thrown into prison. Later, King Charles II pays a visit to Milton, now in a London prison. He tries to comfort the great poet in his distress by reading from the famous epic poem, "Paradise Lost."
