Her daughter Polly does the housework; her son Tommy applies for a job in the real-estate office of Hervey and Porter. Porter refuses him because he has little experience, but Jack Hervey, touched by the boy's earnestness and hard story, takes him on; his mother and sister are jubilant. A week later he falls ill and the doctor confines him to bed; Polly suggests that she dress in Tommy's clothes, pass herself off as his brother, and get them to let "him" fill Tommy's place until he gets well. The scheme works. Jack Hervey and Porter are both in love with Estelle, to whom Jack is engaged. Porter tries to make love to Estelle and is indignantly rejected. Porter resolves to ruin Jack and give away a big land deal, on which he hopes to make a fortune, to a rival real estate man. Polly becomes suspicious; hiding herself in a cupboard, she overhears what they say and warns Jack, who quickly closes his deal and outwits his enemies. Polly then confesses her sex, and the deception is willingly forgiven because of what she has done. Jack and Estelle, who are about to be married, resolve to take a special interest in the Morgan family and help them in every possible way. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
