Death overtakes the old man in front of the country residence of an eccentric novelist named Roland. Roland and his sister take Flo into their home and, becoming much attached to her, they virtually adopt her. Three years later Flo has grown into a talented society girl and is received everywhere as a member of the Roland household. Roland himself has learned to love the little waif with all the pent-up passion of a hitherto loveless existence but is afraid of frightening her by a declaration, indeed he is of too timid a nature to do so. It happens that Norris, a well-known vaudeville manager, goes to spend a brief vacation in the neighborhood of the Roland house. In one of her rambles, Flo one day dances and sings on a cliff near her home and one of her shoes flies off and in falling, strikes Norris on the head, that gentleman happening to be strolling aimlessly at the base of the cliff. He climbs the rocks, the shoe in his pocket, and the two have a very romantic and rather humorous meeting. This meeting leads to a better acquaintance and Norris is received as a regular visitor at the Roland house. Norris also falls desperately in love with Flo and as he is a younger and better looking man, he apparently has every chance of winning her affections. Roland notices the growing intimacy between the young people and gives Norris every encouragement, although it neatly breaks his heart to do so. Then Norris proposes that Flo go on the stage. Flo is wild with delight over the prospect and leaves with Roland's sister to begin her career. After a triumphant debut, she goes on the road and is acknowledged as a successful vaudeville star. Going home on a vacation, accompanied by Roland's sister and Norris, they find Roland lonely and dejected, utterly unable to work. He tries to appear cheerful, but at an awful cost to himself. Then Norris asks him for Flo's hand in marriage, Flo watching the interview. Roland gives his entire consent, but in doing so he reveals to Flo for the first time, the depth of his love for her. In a flash it comes to her that she has always loved him and him only and when Norris addresses her, she gently sends him away. Then running to Roland she leads him into confessing his love and stealing into his arms she gives herself to him, resigning her brilliant future in the outside world.
