Ida, occupy rooms in the garret. Jack is a drunkard, and his wife is an invalid. The wife carefully hoards what little money she has for the rent. Jack gets drunk and in his irresponsible moments takes the money the wife has so carefully saved. He goes to the saloon to spend it with the boys. His wife, discovering the loss, hurries after him, but at the saloon Jack repulses her and tells her he is boss and will do as he likes. She goes home, only to find that Ida has wandered downstairs to the room of Madge. Jane indignantly snatches her child away from the woman's caresses; she is poor, but she is honest. She takes the child upstairs. A policeman arrives and tells her that her husband was shot in a brawl. She hastily goes to the saloon, but the excitement is too much for her, and she drops dead beside her husband's body. Ida being left alone, thinks she will go to see the nice lady downstairs but Madge has gone out with one of her admirers. Ida wanders on the streets. She is repulsed by the society ladies, and at last takes refuge on the steps of a parsonage, but the parson is shocked to find such a ragged urchin sitting on his doorstep and hastily orders her away. Tired out, Ida sits on the curb. Madge, returning from the theater in an automobile, sees her and getting out takes her home with her. She refuses further attention from her admirers and enters the house with Ida. She searches for the child's parents, and not finding them, plays mother to the little waif, Ida's prayers affect her deeply and when two admirers call, she tells them she is going to live straight in the future for the kiddie's sake.
