George Vandeveer, the son, falls in love with the dainty maid. They become engaged. Norman McPherson, a poet, is invited as guest of honor to a lawn party given by the Vandeveers. George introduces his friend to his fiancée and Meta feels the age-old song in her heart. Meta dances for the guests as a wood nymph. McPherson thrills to the rhythm of her dancing and knows that he loves her, but learns that she is engaged to Vandeveer. The three stroll down one of the garden walks. McPherson returns to the house for something he has forgotten, and while he is away Meta is attacked by a madman. George is overcome with fear and stands shaking. McPherson writes a novel in which he reveals his love for Meta. George finds the manuscript in the office of a stenographer and bribes her to destroy it. She consents, but does not keep her bargain. She sends McPherson the typed story and puts the original in her trunk. George steals the typed copy while McPherson is assisting an old woman who has fallen. She is the typist's mother. When Norman learns that his novel is lost, he is stricken with nervous prostration. The girl confesses to Meta and they confront George with his villainy. Meta and Norman then declare their love.
