For him the attractions of great cities do not exist. He is happy in the probability of marrying Mary, a farmer's daughter, a pretty, simple-minded girl, apparently contented with her prospects, until she is lured by the hope of earning a living in a great city. She makes for the city and secures a position behind a ribbon counter. She tastes boarding-house life. Home seems to have faded from her mind. Neither John nor her parents hear from her. Her admirer is her employer, but he does not find it an easy thing to succeed in her good graces by the usual café methods. So he schemes to entrap her by a bogus marriage. Meanwhile, John at home, is getting so anxious for her that he decides to go to the city. He puts up at the very hotel where a plot is in progress to entrap Mary into the marriage. Then John makes his way to the boarding-house where Mary is staying, but she, poor girl, repulses homely John, and shows a preference for her city admirer. But John has made the discovery of the proposed bogus marriage. He finds that the marriage license is forged, and before the mischief can be consummated, he finds the minister and with him defeats the plot. So that the country girl is rescued from ruin and disgrace. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
