Synopsis

Rosie, an orphan, grows to womanhood under the care of Uncle Ben, a genial pawnbroker, and Brady, an Irish policeman. One day Rosie rescues Victor McQuade, a youth of the fashionable set, from some ruffians, and tends his wounds in the pawnshop. The next day, Victor, in a uniform borrowed from his chauffeur, calls to take Rosie for a ride; at his home she is detained by his sister, Muriel, who is giving a "poverty party." Rosie accidentally gets shoved in among the guests and wins first prize for having the most comical costume. Angry and mortified, she flees from Victor to Uncle Ben, who consents to her going to live with Brady in his comfortable home. Victor, intent on marrying Rosie, abducts her from Brady's home, and when they are stopped by a policeman, they have him perform the marriage ceremony.
