Nell ( Gladys Hulette ) leaves the farm to start a candy store in New York, but has a troubled start until she meets Jack Monroe ( William Park Jr. ), a young spend thrift who helps her attract business. They fall in love, marry, and move in with Jack's father ( J. H. Gilmour ). Nell soon discovers that Jack is a drug addict. In sympathy, Jack's father offers to annul the marriage, but Nell refuses, wishing instead to commit herself to the indefinite struggle of pursuing the road to Jack's rehabilitation.
