Well to do society girl Ann Wesley ( Evelyn Nesbit ), is loved by Bart Andrews ( Crauford Kent ), who disapproves of her frivolity and believes that she conceals a better self within her personality. Her fortune is lost in a stock market panic, and she retires to live quietly at a settlement in the Adirondacks. There her unconventionality provokes the wrath of Iron MacLoid ( Murdock MacQuarrie ), the local reformer. Soon, Ann becomes friends with little Johnny Randolph ( Russell Thaw ), whose father is an alcoholic and unknown to her, Bart follows and watches over her every movement. While in the woods with Johnny, Ann is attacked by Bill Donovan ( Albert Hart ), but Johnny comes to her aid and whips Donovan in a fight. After effecting the regeneration of the father and reuniting him with his wife, Ann proves her worth and Bart makes his appearance to claim her.
This 1922 drama was directed by Allan Dwan and produced by the Nanuet Amusement Corporation. It starred Evelyn Nesbit in what would be her last film. Interestingly, her son Russell Thaw played the part of Johnny Randolph, in this tragically lost silent film.
