In the poorer section of the town a starving mother pawns her wedding ring to buy food for her hungry child. The charitable ladies and the deacons visit her home and pry into her affairs. When one of them sees she wears no wedding ring, they all leave, highly indignant that they should have come in contact with such a person. The mother dies and the little girl goes out alone in the world in search of food. She enters the minister's garden where he is busy with his sermon. He cannot bother with the crying baby; he is too busy. She follows the charitable ladies but they do not even see her. But when she finds Larry, he takes her into his arms and his heart and sets a meal before her. Next Sunday he is the first at the church, and as he marches up the aisle, the ladies and minister look at him in surprise and wonder if Larry is fit to have the care of the child. The minister alone understands and bids "the reprobate" go his way, for he is a better man than any of them. And Larry goes off with the child, but not to fish, for the sweet responsibility of the baby means something to him, and he is going to train her in the way she should go.
