Synopsis
Spinster cousins Emmy and Patty Hodges run the local millinery shop in a small town. One day, the women inherit a fortune from an uncle, and Emmy, determined to soothe her cousin's pain from an aborted love affair with Jim Heath years earlier, insists that they use the money to visit New York. In the city, the two women indulge themselves in shopping sprees but fail to find happiness until Patty hears one night of an invalid living in the hotel room adjacent to theirs and offers assistance. Upon entering the room, Patty discovers her cousin's old suitor Jim and learns that he was forced to leave Emmy to save his younger brother from a prison sentence. This revelation brings about a joyful reunion between Emily and her lost love.

Notes
This was the second film made by Hobart Henley Productions for release by Pathé. A December 1919 news item called the nearly completed Skin Deep the second production of Henley's company for Pathé. It is unclear whether Skin Deep was the working title for The Miracle of Money, or if it was a separate film that never was released. According to the news item, Mrs. Sidney Drew wrote the adaptation for Skin Deep. Other members of Henley's company who were mentioned in the article were camera assistant Lesley Coffey, assistant director Warren V. Fromme, art director Jules Redston, property manager Ed Quinn and editor Selma Rosenblum.
