While there her memory recalls her girlhood and she tells her manager how as a girl her voice secured for her a choir position, to the delight of her father and sister, but when later her voice brought her a stage offer her father and sister were bitter in their objections, so that same night she ran away and later became a great prima donna. Lola desires to look up her people. With the manager's assistance, she sets out the next morning to find them and get their forgiveness. She finds her sister, May, and learns the pathetic story of how the morning eight years before when May found Lola's note their father flew into a rage and at the same moment a ring at the door bell brought news of an accident to Larry, a mutual friend of May and Lola. Later, Larry in his delirium cries for Lola. May, in pity, goes to comfort him and pretends she is Lola to soothe him. Larry never regains his sight and, believing May to be Lola, declares his love. The next week the father dies. May's pity grows to love and she marries Larry, never telling him of her deception. May pleads with Lola to keep her secret. As she does so, her little child rushes in and Lola, seeing the happiness where ignorance is bliss, says to May, "He shall never know," kisses the child, says farewell and is soon whirled away in a taxi to catch her train for a performance in the next town.
