Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] there is constant strife between the families of Barry and O'Mara. If Jim Barry (Spaulding) dies without marrying, the family fortune will revert to the son of the O'Maras. Jim gets intoxicated one night and slips down the cellar stairs, severely injuring himself. After the town doctor predicts that he will die, so to save the fortune Mrs. Barry (Dunbar) calls Molly Shawn (Martin) and asks her to marry Jim. Because the Barrys had done much for her family, Molly consents even though she loves Barney Malone (Ford). Jim is taken to the city, is operated on, and gets well. Molly is disappointed but, knowing it can be no other way, lives on as Mrs. Jim Barry. One day Jim learns that the marriage ceremony had been performed by a tramp endeavoring to escape justice, so he gives Molly her freedom and she and Barney make preparations for their wedding.
