Synopsis
Virginia Clerson lives in sordid surroundings with her drunken father, her thieving brother Frank and her wastrel sister Laura. Deciding to take a different path, Virginia runs away from her unhappy home and obtains work in a millinery factory, telling her employer, Frederick Parker, that her relatives are all dead. Virginia works hard, soon becoming superintendent of the factory, and Frederick falls in love with her. She rescues Laura from her lot as a scrubwoman, but just as Virginia and Frederick are to be married, Frank appears and reveals his sister's past. When Frederick discovers Virginia's history, he thrashes Frank and forgives his sweetheart, and then the couple marries.

Notes
The working title of this film was Virginia. Some reviews credit Ida M. Tarbell with the story, but as she was a nonfiction writer, this credit is probably an error. It is unclear whether Evans' story was written for the screen or adapted from a published source. A one reel film based on the same source, entitled Virginia, was produced by Universal in 1916.
