Harris determines to put his club friends to the test and has an article published to the effect that he has lost his fortune. When the article appears, Harris' former friends desert him. Disgusted with the shallowness of society, he moves into a tenement, hoping to discover true friendship among the poor. Meanwhile, Anna Newton, a benevolent young woman of means, decides to write an article on tenement life and finds a room in the same building. The agent who conducts her to her quarters wishes to become better acquainted and forces his attentions on the young woman; her cries attract Harris, who hastens to the scene, but the crippled millionaire is no match for the rough agent, who throws the young man to the floor and stuns him. Anna secures help and bears Harris to his room. She secretly engages a doctor, who finds some time later that Harris' accident permits his broken limb to be reset. Harris leaves the tenement upon his recovery but he cannot forget his kind friend. He returns just as Anna has completed her story and is about to leave the tenement. Harris tells her that he has secured a position as secretary in a household which also needs a governess and he induces her to accompany him. Anna does so, feeling that she must now confess that she has deceived young man, whom she believes is poor. When they arrive at the Harris mansion the butler addresses his master before the millionaire can warn him, and his secret is discovered. Anna now has a confession to make and the adventure culminates in a visit to a nearby parsonage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
