Later, in New York, Helen is much sought because of her money. Dr. Granger, a worker among the poor, induces her to see his "family," as he calls the many in want. Helen becomes interested and is loved by the poor for her good deeds among them. She buys a pin from Jack Burton on the bread line. Later Dr. Granger secures him employment as a reporter. Jack loves Helen, and she begins to feel affection for him, but he realizes that her money stands between them. Richard Drake, Gregory's son, is operating a get-rich-quick investment scheme in New York when his father turns up. By changing the names on the old sales document Gregory has reserved, the swindlers are able to steal the mine from Helen. She feels that now she and Jack are on a plane, but Dr. Granger convinces her that they must both work to recover the mine. This Helen does by becoming a stenographer at the "Money Mill" and after many adventures she and Jack are united through Dr. Granger. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
