Their father and mother were dead, and she was their sole support. Dick Calhoun, whose father owned the Consolidated Stores, where Sue worked, saw Sue and the tots "picnicking" in the park. They saw his racer and, not aware of his presence, climbed into it and made believe they were on a journey. Accidentally Sue pressed the starter and the car started down the street. Dick dashed after them. He scolded Sue, and while busy with the engine, she and the children slipped away. Dick was sorry. The next day Dick succeeded in begging her pardon. Then he escorted her home. She rushed in and began to tell Mrs. Clancy about Dick. He saw the extreme poverty, tried to give money to a tot, but Sue refused to accept charity. Dick and Sue fell in love, but she felt his feelings were caused from pity. Mrs. Clancy went after Dick, demanding to know why he was trifling with the child's heart. The boy replied that he wanted to marry Sue. Sue refused to work at the store and looked for another position. She was unsuccessful. One day she found the children gone and hurried to Mrs. Clancy's. The older woman suggested she ask Dick for assistance. This Sue decided to do as a last resort. Mr. Calhoun had been told by Dick of his love for Sue. Dick came for the children and took them to his home. Sue was admitted by the butler and faced Dick, who made a effort to appear stern. While fighting back her tears, she told him of the children's disappearance. Dick went to the adjoining room, where his father was trying to keep the tots quiet, and had them march in. They told her that her Fairy Prince wafted them there. She couldn't help surrendering to Dick, and Mr. Calhoun herded the curious youngsters from the room.
