Bess goes to a distant part of the city, and rents a furnished room from a kindly-faced old lady, resolved to start life anew in a different environment. She secures employment in a large shirt factory and by diligent attention to work, becomes forelady and assistant to Williams, the owner of the factory. Jack, the weakling, completely worn out by the life he has led, is in the last stages of tuberculosis, when he accidentally meets Bess, and through helping him, her other brother, Frank, finds out where she is employed, and going to Williams, her employer, plays the "worried brother" part and tells him how Bess took the money and ran away from home. Williams, who has become very fond of Bess, is horrified with the idea of her doing such a thing, and tells her to mend her ways and go home with her brother. Things look pretty badly for Bess, until her brother Jack appears on the scene, denounces his brother and turns him over to two detectives who are waiting outside for him. We leave Williams and Bess to plan their future happiness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
