Young widow Marion Cosgrove is forced by circumstances to place her little daughter Sue in the care of Mrs. Grumpus, who is addicted to drink. Little Sue is treated right except when her guardian is intoxicated. One day while drunk she abuses Sue, who runs away. She comes across Hart, who is leaning against a lamp post, unsteady from the previous night's debauch. Sue sympathizes with him and starts to lead him away from a policeman, telling him that Ed is her father. The policeman follows them to Ed's home and sees him take her in with him, to Jenks' astonishment. Sue promptly takes a bottle of liquor away from Ed. The two men are perplexed and finally decide to keep Sue, being unable to find her mother. Sue transforms Ed into a better man. Mrs. Grumpus is sent to jail for six months, and Sue's mother is unable to find her daughter. She eventually locates her, but Sue refuses to go without Hart and Jenks. Hart has a better plan: He proposes that Sue's mama stay with him. Mama consents and the new home is made happy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
