Synopsis
When twelve-year-old Marian Morgan's guardian, Lucille Haines, remarries, Marian is remanded to the care of her father John, a gambler and a thief. Morgan is so captivated by his daughter that he renounces his life of crime. His intention to "go straight" is curtailed when he is framed by a former confederate for a robbery he did not commit. Morgan is arrested by the police, and Marian, learning the truth about her father, runs away on Valentine's Day and finds refuge in a nearby church where she meets little Robert Wentworth. Adopted by the clergyman's family, Marian grows to adulthood and becomes engaged to Robert. After his release from prison, Morgan finds his daughter, but she is ashamed to acknowledge him. When he explains that he was sent to prison on false charges, however, he wins the sympathy of Marian, her fiancé, the minister and his wife, and all ends well.
