Synopsis

"Two stories are interwoven in this plot, the marital troubles of the wealthy Minturns and the adventures of Mickey O'Halloran and his little crippled girl pal being utilized as contrasting examples of life amid riches and poverty" ( Exhibitors Trade Review, 7 Jul 1923). Orphan newsboy Michael O'Halloran "adopts" Peaches, a little crippled girl, when her grandmother's death leaves her alone in the world. A chance acquaintance with lawyer Douglas Bruce draws Michael into contact with the Hardings, a farm couple, who bring Michael and Peaches to the country. Wholesome food and good fresh air give Peaches the strength to walk. Also friends of Douglas Bruce are the James Minturns, a wealthy young couple whose marriage breaks up over Nellie Minturn's neglect of their children for a society life. Nellie eventually realizes her error, devotes herself to hospital work, and is reunited with James while bird-calling in the woods.
