Their happiness is unbroken until the arrival of New Yorker Wallace Raven, who comes to the Larabee home to board for the summer. Raven is attracted by Edith, who attempts to repulse his advances, but at the same time she is not displeased with the city man. Upon his return to New York, Raven writes to Edith, asking her to come to the city and marry him. The unsophisticated girl runs away from home and leaves a note for her parents. Raven meets her at the Pennsylvania Station and conducts her to his apartments. There she learns his true character, and climbing from the window she descends the fire-escape and reaches the apartment of an old bachelor who protects her. Edith finds her way to a police station and asks the authorities to help her to return home. In the meantime. Hank discovers the note which Edith received from Raven, and, determined to protect his misguided sweetheart, he comes to New York and locates Raven. The latter denies all knowledge of the girl, but Hank discovers a wrap which she left in her flight, and unable to control his anger, he attacks the blackguard. Raven's butler hurries to the street and brings back an officer, who leads the two men to jail. There Hank meets Edith and tells his story to the sergeant. The final scene shows the simple but happy farm where Edith is content to spend her days with Hank as a loving husband. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
