The invalid, with his wife Clara and their baby, was being entertained one day by a friend who, to the accompaniment of his bagpipe, was singing some native ballads. Mr. and Mrs. Sloan, while touring through Scotland in their automobile, are attracted by the plaintive Scotch airs and stop to listen. Clara draws the attention of the tourists who see in her a probable nurse for their child. They propose that she come with them to America, but the little woman does not wish to leave her husband and baby. The following day the McDonalds learn that the bank in which their savings were deposited has failed and that they are left destitute. At the same time, the tourists write to Clara and again propose that she go with them, offering the inducement of $300.00 a year if she consents. In their dire need Clara feels it her duty to accept and tearfully she parts from her husband and little one. Clara is in her new home and proves a conscientious nurse. One day the neighbor's children place a phonograph near the garden hedge, turn it on, and Clara, started, recognizes the familiar strains of "The Bonnie, Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond." The children leave the phonograph for a while, and, Clara, leaning over the hedge, takes the instrument to her side of the garden. The children, returning, miss the phonograph and see Clara disappearing with it. They rush in and tell the story to their grandmother. Enraged, she immediately notifies the police and then hastens to inform Mr. and Mrs. Sloan that Clara is a thief. The police arrive in the meantime, and they all depart to the garden in search of the culprit. There the poor homesick little woman is listening to the strains of the old Scotch ballad. As the police make a move forward. Mrs. Sloan, recognizing the air, restrains them; her husband, too, understands, and they explain, That same evening Clara found in her room a beautiful, new phonograph, ready at all times to play for her the old song.
