Unknown to Annie, Alice has engaged herself to Seadey Swaine, the son of a well-to-do businessman. Time passes and Alice is about to graduate; Annie works nights to provide her with the proper graduation dress. At this time, Alice exhibits a diamond ring and informs Annie of her engagement. Later, against her sister's advice, Alice goes to work in the canning factory to provide herself with a suitable trousseau. In the factory Alice meets Duncan Bronson, manager of a department. Bronson, who bears an unsavory reputation, is attracted to Alice and succeeds in winning her approval. Annie looks on with troubled eyes. She gives Alice a bit of sisterly advice, but the younger girl refuses to listen. Annie seeks out the manager, but is only laughed at for her pains. She suddenly blooms forth prettily adorned with dresses purchased with money she had laboriously saved. The manager discovers that Annie has charms far superior to Alice's, and turns his attention to Annie. After Alice is married to young Swaine, the danger past, Annie returns to her plain dress and tightly-combed hair. She is suspected and gossiped about, and even her own sister refuses her the consolation of a good deed done. In the little village, Annie continues her work in the canning factory alone, heart-hungry, suspected. Annie was a martyr to Virtue. But was she justified?
