Plot

As summarized in a film magazine,[3] Milly West (Ethel Clayton), a cabaret dancer becomes injured, and after a surgeon says she cannot become a mother, she gives up on love. Tim (Walter Hiers) loves her and after she rejects him, writes his mother in the country that he has killed himself. David (Clyde Fillmore), a man from the country, takes her there to recover and later wins her over.

The magazine also used stills to illustrate the plot:

  • Milly, a cabaret dancer, offers Tim her pie at a theatrical boarding house
