Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? When the boarding housekeeper took her away from the poor farm, the little orphan looked for better existence, but she soon found a slavey’s life. Fate had not forgotten her. The nasty star boarder talked too much about his money; a crook living in the house resolved to rob him. But the crook’s young pal refused to take a hand in that game. He had fallen in love with the little slavey and resolved to go straight. So his former pal stole the money, and out of revenge, placed it in his room. When the detectives came, he chuckled with suppressed glee. But they did not find the money in that room. To the surprise of all, the little slavey then came forward and led them to the room of the thief, where she had hidden the money after discovering the plot against her lover. He, touched by her devotion, vowed to go straight if she married him. Leaving the city, they worked together for their own home.
