Synopsis
Jerry Burke is engaged to marry Mary Manning, daughter of a wealthy old Irishman, but his father opposes the match and disowns him. Meanwhile, Lacey, a successful but crooked politician, returns to Ireland and persuades the retired Manning to emigrate with Mary to the United States. Jerry follows and finds a position on a newspaper, but he is disheartened to hear that Mary plans to marry Lacey. While she is preparing for the ceremony, her veil catches on fire and a doctor announces that her beauty is impaired, whereupon Lacey withdraws his suit. Returning to Ireland, she meets Jerry and reveals that the fire was a pretext to prevent her marriage to Lacey, and the lovers are reunited.
