Suddenly Marie disappears and nothing is heard from her until a year later, when a baby is delivered to their studio with a note from their model asking them to care for baby Victor, as by the time he and the note reach them, she declares she will be dead. Twenty years later the three are now well-to-do artists and baby Victor has grown to young manhood as Victor Cochrane-MacTavish. He is about to leave for a vacation, and his three guardians write him that on his 21st birthday they will open an account of $5,000 to start him out right in life. He hastens into the room to thank them for their kindness, and there he meets Cochrane's niece Olive and her mother; it is hoped by all that Victor and Olive will marry. Victor arrives at the mountain resort and becomes very popular, especially when it is learned that he is the adopted son of Cochrane and MacTavish. At the same hotel are social pirates Angelina and her companion Peckoff, who determine to enslave Victor. It's easy for Angelina, with her knowledge of the world, to win the boy's admiration. When she returns to the city he follows her, forgetting all about Olive in his new infatuation. Back at the old home the three pals are planning a big blow-out for Victor's 21st birthday, but they're forced to go on with the dinner without him as Angelina has prevailed upon him to have dinner with her that night. Victor returns home in the early-morning hours very much the worse for drink, and tells Cochrane of his infatuation for Angelina. Cochrane determines to break up the boy's infatuation and begins taking Angelina around. One day when Victor calls at her house, he is refused admittance; he forces his way in and finds Cochrane with his arms around Angelina. He strikes the old man and leaves in a fury. A good-sized check disposes of Angelina and her companion for good and when Victor returns to the house. MacTavish and Wellbridge both begin to malign Cochrane. This is too much for Victor and he hastens out to find Cochrane and apologize. On the way he sees Olive and his old love for her returns. He invites her to dinner that night, which he says his guardians are giving in honor of his engagement to her. As the story ends the three artists and Victor and Olive are having a royal celebration, and the future looks very bright. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
