As described in a film magazine review, Madge Garvey (Phillips) and her father are employed in a shoe factory. Madge's brother-in-law is discharged by the new foreman, John Blake (Stowell), and in a fight with Blake is killed. Blake falls in love with Madge and she consents to marry him. The day before the wedding she goes to New York City, lured by a girl friend and a desire to get away from Sackville and its squalor. There she finds life very different. She poses for an artist, and is invited to his apartment late one night where he tries to force his attentions on her. In the meantime, Blake assists Madge's sister through her illness, and the family moves into the house Blake had furnished for his bride. Seeing a picture of a scantily clad Madge in the newspaper, Blake goes to the city where he finds Madge fainted and lying in the arms of the artist. He rescues her and they return home and are married.
