The Earl of Creston has advised his son that if he marries an American woman he must marry money, and in order to impress others with their social standing, he gives him a jeweled family coronet as an evidence of inherited rank. Lilly, who is a trusting, perfectly natural girl, is urged by Cyril to marry him, quoting his family standing in England, and as an inducement says he will bestow upon her a coronet which he will bring to her the following night. The next day he goes to a vault to get the jeweled crown, and while in the vault he drops a letter which he has recently received from his father, reminding him again that if he marries, he must marry a fortune. Just after Cyril has left Lilly has occasion to go to the vault, and finds the letter which Cyril has dropped. She is distressed to learn that he is a fortune hunter, scorns his proffered coronet, and rejects him. Cyril realizes that true worth is found in women, not in their fortunes and he must prove his real worth. He sends the coronet back to his father, and relinquishes all claim to his title. He goes west and becomes a rancher. A couple of years later, Mr. Penn takes a trip west with his daughter Lilly and his doctor. A party of desperadoes try to wreck the train and rob the passengers. Cyril discovers them at their work and drives them away, signals the train and saves it. In the scrimmage, he is shot and wounded. The trainmen carry him back to his cabin and he is attended to by Mr. Penn's doctor. Lilly and her father visit Cyril's cabin. He is surprised to see Lillian and they are both glad to meet again. He tells her the hardships through which he has passed, preferring to depend on his own efforts than upon a title. He points to her head and says that he has no coronet to place there now. She reaches through the window, plucks a branch of vine, twines it into a wreath and places it upon her head. Her father and the doctor withdraw and the two lovers agree that hearts of love are better than all the coronets of jewels. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
