Marie, the daughter of a middle class farmer, is enchanted by the social doings of the great world as depicted in the local papers, and determines to run away from home. On arrival in the city, the ever-watchful white slavers mark her for their own. While standing in rapt wonder and admiration viewing the gorgeous display in a show window the country girl is accosted by a fashionably dressed madame, who induces the girl to go home with her to be dressed in what she considers a becoming manner. Marie is then taken to the reception room and is hilariously greeted by the abandon habitués. She then realizes in what kind of a place she is and makes her escape. She meets the derelict of the city. A poor drifting, yet manly fellow whose downward career has been checked by the missionary society. She tells him her story. He takes her to the mission where he was saved, and a position is found for her in the home of a wealthy banker. This banker paying a debt of gratitude he owes the derelict, makes him his secretary. The story ends with the happy meeting of the two waifs at the banker's house.
