Dan Bossworth, a young lawyer, in passing her poverty-stricken home saves the geranium when it is blown from the window-sill and, discovering the elem of death on the doorbell, learns of the child's condition and arranges to adopt her. He takes her to his boarding-house and makes her happiness his life's ambition. Later when she becomes a beautiful young woman he reaches the pinnacle of success in his profession and, going home to her, tells her they will change their social sphere to fit his new duties. She, however, tells him she is going to work and will no longer be dependent upon him. Realizing he loves her he pleads with her to become his wife. She laughs it off and afterward when the attentions of a gilded youth are showered upon her he warns her of her danger and they quarrel. Broken-hearted, he goes to his lonely office, while she goes out with the other man. Compelled to resist his unworthy advance she realizes the character of the gilded youth and the worth of her former protector.
