Mary and David become close friends, and she tells him of a letter of introduction she has to Ann Maitland, a wealthy spinster. She tried to deliver the letter to Hector, but he had always refused to see her. David takes her directly to Miss Maitland, and she is allowed to live with the woman. Hector is unnerved by his aunt's affection for Mary, for he fears he may lose the large inheritance he expects. Hector and Flash plant some jewels stolen from Miss Maitland in Mary's room in an attempt to discredit her, but David catches Flash and turns her over to the police.
Time passes, and the checkered coat has been pawned from one owner to another.
Flash, destitute and shivering cold, finds the coat in a trash can and places it over her frail shoulders. Mary and David, now married, pass by the poor woman and, not recognizing her, place a coin in her hand. A five-reel drama that can be booked with the assurance that its paper claims are borne out on the screen. The picture is thoroughly worthwhile. Their acting is entirely satisfactory.
