Rose Fownes, a girl of a New England village, is left the Brown fortune, providing she will marry Mrs. Brown's son, John, who has drifted to the city and has become infatuated with a chorus girl. When Rose sees at the time the will is read that John does not care for her, she resolves to forfeit the fortune by marrying the first man that asks her. Rose and her widowed mother have sacrificed a good deal to send Jim Fownes to a business college in the city. Jim rescues Ella Wynn, the chorus girl, from the hands of some ruffians, and immediately falls in love with her and marries her. He takes her home, much to the surprise of John Brown, who has been jilted by the girl and resolves to marry Rose. Rose feels that she has done John a great injustice when she sees that the girl her brother has married is in reality the girl whose picture she found in John's room. She apologizes to John and the picture closes with Rose in John's arms. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
