Synopsis

Theodore Wayne, an infantry captain wounded at the front, recalls the highlights of his earlier life: A schoolboy in an old New England town, he meets Jennie Clayton, daughter of a wealthy family, and they become constant sweethearts. Jack Randall, scion of a wealthy family, is the suitor favored by Jennie's mother, who wants her to marry for wealth and position. For Jennie's sake, Ted goes to Harvard, though his father, an impractical lawyer, makes vital sacrifices to meet the expense; after his father's death, he is forced to return home and support his mother. Convinced by Mr. Clayton, Ted gives up Jennie and leaves with his mother in an effort to forget. Jennie refuses to marry Randall and joins the Red Cross in France. There in a hospital, she is reunited with Ted and nurses him back to health. Their love is thus reaffirmed.
