Cooley, having met with an accident, is brought to the Fearnley home by the doctor, who finds it will be impossible to remove him. Hospitality is extended and he is faithfully attended by Georgia, who finally falls in love with her patient. During Cooley's convalescence, Jane returns from college, and, forgetful of his declared love for Georgia (his feeling for her being merely gratitude) his heart passes into the keeping of Jane, who is a willing recipient. An elopement is planned and one morning Georgia awakens to find both sister and sweetheart gone. The young couple meet with misfortune and Jans is left a poor widow. Her pride prevents her from returning home and she sews for a living, while her daughter is employed in a toy shop. Day by day the little one is seen worshiping a beautiful doll, which she dreads to see pass beyond her vision. It is purchased by Georgia for a friend. Gladys delivers it to her mother's old home, and, upon entering, falls. The doll is broken, and while being comforted by Georgia, the child tells of her mother. Through this a reconciliation is brought about and Gladys is soon the proud possessor of a doll as beautiful as her first love.
