Mattie promises her father that she will take care of the children. Three years later Mattie Connoly is a chorus girl, self-reliant and self-respecting. Several of her girl companions ask her why she does not forget those kids once in a while and go out for a good time. Mattie's beauty attracts Bryan Douglas. He tries to persuade her to enjoy the bright lights, but she refuses. He calls upon her in her humble home. One night the derelict father returns. Bryan Douglas is amazed that the sodden creature is Mattie's father. However, Mattie cares for her unfortunate parent. Bryan leaves, but later, his manhood conquers, and he returns to Mattie and asks her to be his wife.
