Synopsis
Dominic Beaumont, a mender of violins in a country village, is proud of his daughter Priscilla, who has inherited her mother's musical ability. His other daughter, Unity, capably runs the household, but Dominic calls her a "girl without a soul" because she lacks Priscilla's talent. Ivor, a traveling musician, who previously seduced and abandoned a young girl after promising to make her famous, tells Priscilla that with money she could be a success. When Priscilla learns that Unity's sweetheart Hiram Miller, the village blacksmith, has been entrusted with funds for the new church organ, Ivor persuades her to take the money. After Hiram is arrested, Unity masquerades as Priscilla to elope with Ivor and denounces him when he asks for the money. Priscilla gives the money to Unity, who then is suspected of the theft, because she refuses to squeal on Priscilla. After Priscilla appears at court and denounces Ivor, Hiram, on horseback, overtakes Ivor in an auto and drags him to court. Priscilla then convinces Dominic that he has misjudged Unity.
