Bill is a big domineering fisherman and objects to Molly spending her money frivolously on fine apparel. The girl is almost in rags and has no dresses or hats fit to wear. Marie, the village coquette, blossoms forth in new raiment and lures Molly's fickle sweetheart Jim away from her. Several days later while passing the window of the village millinery store, Molly sees a pretty hat on display and covets it. The milliner tells Molly that since she is unable to pay cash for it she will let her have it on time. Fearing her father's wrath, Molly fears to buy and returns home without it. A party of city picnickers on a launch ride put in at the port to fix a balky launch motor, and while the men are repairing the motor, the women go sightseeing through the village. They are beautifully gowned and passing Molly inquire the way to the village curio store. Molly directs them to it. Envious of the fine clothes of the city visitors and realizing that it was the lure of fine clothes that has taken her sweetheart from her, Molly resolves to brave her father's wrath and buy the hat on time. That same afternoon Bill Kane is paid his month's wages, some eighty dollars. Bill goes to the tavern with a group of fishermen friends and gets drunk. He returns home and catches Molly with the new hat. Bill returns the hat to the milliner and Molly is heartbroken. Struve, a peddler, comes to the village and sells Molly a yard of satin ribbon. The peddler is warned not to apply at the tavern for shelter, as the tavern has an evil reputation and he is liable to be robbed. Struve applies to Bill Kane's cottage for shelter for the night and offers to pay well for the hospitality. Bill consents. The peddler has been followed to Bill Kane's cottage by two toughs who covet the peddler's money and pack. They break into the house at midnight and rob Kane of his eighty dollars and prepare to rob the peddler. They are heard by Molly at work and she attacks them. Her cries bring assistance and the thieves are captured. Molly is seriously hurt in the fight and is put to bed unconscious. The following morning sorry for his treatment of Molly, Bill Kane buys the hat from the milliner and presents it to Molly. The peddler also makes her a valuable present. Jim, Molly's lover, upon being told of the robbery and that Molly is badly hurt, hurries up to the cottage and begs Molly to forgive him and take him back into her affections, and Molly complies.
