Threatened by her degenerate brother, Bowery Bob, she works making artificial flowers. Bob takes every cent she makes. Her only recreation is when Blind Tom plays his hand organ and she dances. Michael Delane, a dancing master, visits the slums and sees her dancing on the sidewalk. He gives Ethel his card. Later, after cruel treatment from Bob, she runs away and visits Delane at his studio. Seeing she has the makings of a great dancer and at this time he is in need of such a person for the new production of "Miss Nobody from Nowhere," he makes her an offer. She consents and tells him of her brother Bob. Delane writes that Ethel is safe and at the same time sends Bob money, giving no address. On the opening night Bob visits the theater and from the gallery sees his sister. Surprised, but pleased at seeing means for getting money. Ethel gives him aid time and time again. Delane professes love for Ethel; she accepts him. Later Bob asks for more money. Ethel refuses. Delane interferes. Bob, drunk at the time, tells Delane that Ethel is not his sister but his mistress. Delane leaves Ethel. Heartbroken, Ethel cares for Blind Tom, who later has his eyesight restored. Ethel helps the poor and dances at an entertainment to be given for the settlement workers. Here Delane happens to drop in and sees her. She realizes Bob needs more money and on seeing Delane on the street decides to try the old scheme once again. Delane is heartbroken and when Bob braces him there is a fight. Ethel, who has just left the Bowery ball, happens to see her brother draw his knife to kill Delane. Ethel interferes and is stabbed in the arm, falling to the ground. Bob sees his mistake and says, "My God, I've killed my sister." Delane hears this and quickly takes Ethel in his arms. Blind Tom has arrived on the scene by this time. Bob discovers a policeman on the other side of the street. He runs; the policeman rushes by the scene and sees what has happened. Blind Tom points to Bob, who is running up the street. The officer follows. Delane and Blind Tom rush Ethel to the hospital, where her arm is dressed and she soon recovers. In the meantime Bob has been chased into a building by the officer. Bob hiding behind the door of an elevator shaft misses his footing and falls to the bottom, dead. By this time big-hearted Blind Tom has repaid Ethel's kindness by bringing together Ethel and Delane. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
