As described in a film magazine review,[2] Jill, Jane, and May Mackie are left penniless when their father dies. They obtain employment but department store work breaks down Jill's health. Charles Hemingway, cursed with a selfish, unsympathetic wife, grows fond of Jill and she goes to live with him. Later, he dies and she has an opportunity to marry Henry Adams. Facing exposure, she confesses her past. He discards her and she returns to work as a store clerk, convinced that there is no escape from the penalties of doing wrong.
