Synopsis

Mrs. Standing, an old-fashioned country mother, sacrifices to put her son John through college so that he might have a better life. Upon completing school, John goes to the city where his financial success blinds him to the basic values taught to him by his mother. One night, during an important social event, Mrs. Standing arrives at her son's house carrying a wicker basket full of homemade jams. John, ashamed, tells his fiancée, the wealthy Catherine Thurston, that the old lady was his childhood nurse. Mrs. Standing overhears her son's deception and, devastated, returns home. John, remorseful, follows with the firm resolution to devote future years to the care of his mother. Learning the truth, Catherine, accompanied by her own mother, visits the Standing's country home and all is forgiven.
