Synopsis
Influenced by American politician James Lacey, Daniel and Margaret Manning foresake Dublin for the United States, disregarding the protests of their daughter Mary who is forced to leave her sweetheart Jerry Burke behind. Under Lacey's patronage, the Manning Contracting Company flourishes until the politician demands Mary's hand in marriage. Mary refuses his offer, and soon after, Jerry arrives from Ireland. In retaliation, the politician ruins Manning, and in order to save her family, Mary agrees to the marriage. The engagement brings a startling turn of events, because Mary, who knows that Lacey is attracted by physical charms only, becomes plainer in appearance. After an accident disfigures her face, Lacey foresakes his fiancée, thus freeing Mary to wed Jerry. However, the accident was all a ruse and Mary appears on her wedding day as beautiful as ever.
