A circus comes to town and the children ask to go, but they are sternly refused by their father. Grace, the elder daughter, determines to disobey him and takes her younger sister to see the show. During the performance, a part of the main tent collapses and the young sister is badly hurt. When Storm learns how she was injured, he tells Grace that God thus avenged himself upon her for disobeying him. They have a strong scene, in which she tells him that she hates God and leaves. In the city she is unable to make a living, and is starving when she is discovered by an Allied Church Missionary, followers of the modern Christianity, and taken to their mission. Bronson Carr, a millionaire philanthropist who visits the mission, takes a deep interest in Grace when he learns her story and goes to intercede with her father. Storm, although impressed by Carr, refuses to relent and Carr is about to leave in disgust when Storm's younger daughter, who has been listening to the conversation, bursts in on them and makes a pitiful plea to Carr to take her with him as she cannot stand the life with her father any longer. This is a severe blow to her father, as he stands looking at her. After Carr has left, he turns over the pages of the Bible and his glance falls on a quotation which convinces him that he is wrong. He goes to the city and persuades the girl to return with him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
