Synopsis

Four men have proposed to Adele Moore, a beautiful young woman whose father wishes her to marry for financial reasons, but she is undecided as to the one she prefers and decides to consult a fortuneteller. Gazing into the crystal ball, Adele witnesses an enactment of the life she would lead with each one of them and is horrified to find every marriage ending in misery. The lawyer proves faithless, the banker embezzles money, the doctor neglects her, and the poor clerk suggests that she sacrifice her honor to his threatening employer. Rejecting them all, Adele moves to Vermont and opens a store. Business is slack until a passing salesman assumes management of the store and transforms it into a booming success. Happy at last, Adele agrees to marry him.
