George, a city rake, is injured by his automobile and is found by the lovers, carried to the girl's home and nursed back to health. He makes love to the girl and she is dazzled by his handsome face, stylish clothes and polished manner. A quarrel takes place with Ted, and the father orders George away. He lures Beth to the city under promise of marriage, but soon betrays his true character. Beth writes to her father expressing her regret, and Ted goes to the city to take her back. He arrives at an opportune time, and a frightened, thoroughly disillusioned little girl flies to his protecting arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
