Synopsis
Nathaniel and Martin Berry grew up on Shore Acres, a farm left to them by their mother. They both fell in love with Ann, but Nathan joined the army to allow Martin to marry her. Now Ann and Martin have a grown daughter named Helen who is in love with Dr. Sam Warren. Josiah Blake, a disreputable real estate man convinces Martin to mortgage the farm and invest in a sub-division scheme, even though both Ann and Nathan are against it. Blake also wants to marry Helen so he poisons Martin's mind against Sam, leading to Martin's unsuccessful attempt to shoot the doctor. Helen and Sam then elope and leave Shore Acres for eighteen months. When they return with their baby, Martin is despondent because the investment company has gone bankrupt. All ends well when Nathan saves the property for the family by using his pension money to buy back the mortgage.

Notes
The play opened in Boston in 1892, but was not produced in New York until November 25, 1895. New York Dramatic Mirror credits George Kleine as master of properties; it is most unlikely that this is the same George Kleine who owned production, distribution and importation companies at this time.
