- StarsMary FullerRobert BrowerWalter EdwinBetty Gibbs is given the position of librarian of the little village library. As soon as she is installed the library becomes very popular. Among those who come is Robert Prentice, a high school teacher, and he and Betty quickly become interested in each other. Betty's brother has recently enlisted in the army and is at a post near the village. Corporal Cutler, coming across Jack Gibbs while the boy is supposedly off duty, is abusive to him and finally irritates the boy so that he knocks the officer down. The seriousness of this offense is great and Jack does not know how badly he has hurt Cutler. He therefore deserts and goes to find Betty. He comes into the library during the evening hour, and, in an agony of terror, tells Betty what an awful thing be has done and begs her to help him escape. She takes him to her own room and leaves him, only to find that Prentice has come in to talk with her. She goes back to her room and shuts Jack into her closet. This is not effective as she realizes if a search is made he will be quickly discovered. How is she to save him? The way occurs to her. It must be at the cost of her own good name. Coming back to the reading room she sees that the soldiers are approaching, the members of the village library committee with them. She tells Prentice to follow her and she leads him to the door of her room. Then she tells him to go into the room. He expostulates but she urges him in, telling him to stay there until she calls and shutting him in, she goes to face the search party. To the corporal's questions she gives evasive replies. When he starts his search, she resists. At the door of her room she fights against their entering, but the door is opened and Prentice stands revealed. The library committee stands aghast and Betty hangs her head in what looks like guilty confusion, while the soldiers, thrown off their scent, retire. Betty dashes into the room, slamming the door after her and throwing herself into a chair, bursts into tears. Jack, still in the closet, hears Betty's sobs and comes out. She urges him back into hiding, but he will not go. Then Prentice, opening the door, sees Jack and for the first time understands. He tells Jack of Betty's sacrifice. Jack immediately starts to go and give himself up, but Betty clings to him. At this moment the corporal reappears, followed by the judge and the minister. The corporal demands Jack's surrender. He gives himself up and explains what has happened, thereby clearing Betty's name. Her sacrifice softens the corporal's heart, who forgives Jack and the picture closes with a brief showing of the love of Betty and Prentice.
