Synopsis
Accustomed to attending to the needs of her thoughtless younger sister Lucy, Jane Cobden springs into action when she learns that her sister is carrying sailor Bart Holt's child. Rushing to the Holt house to demand the marriage of Bart and Lucy, Jane discovers that Bart has died at sea. Forsaking her own happiness for that of her sister, Jane leaves her suitor, Dr. John Cavendish, to take Lucy to Europe and therefore conceal the birth of her child. After Archie is born, John's friend Sidney Gray comes to visit and falls in love with Lucy. To protect her reputation, Lucy tells Sidney that the child is Jane's. Jane returns home with the baby and Sidney and Lucy come to visit on their honeymoon. On the following day, Archie is swept out to sea while playing and rescued by John. He is carried to shore by Captain Holt, Bart's father, who reveals that Lucy is the child's mother. Through Jane's pleading, Lucy is forgiven by Sidney, and thus freed of all dishonor, Jane goes to John, who is awaiting her.
