SYNOPSIS, Reel Life, July 11, 1914:

"Grieving over the death of her daughter, Mrs. Sinclair, a wealthy widow, loses her mind. After trying a dozen other expedients to restore her reason, the widow's physician introduces Ann Haggerty, an inmate of a girl's reformatory, to Mrs. Sinclair and tells her the girl is her daughter. Mrs. Sinclair, when she recovers, refuses to believe that her daughter has died and takes Ann to her heart. The girl's rascally brother, 'Bull' Haggerty, learns of his sister's good fortune and secures a position as groom with the Sinclair family where he blackmails his sister. The girl finally triumphs over her fear of 'Bull,' defends Mrs. Sinclair's property and retains the love of Ralph Foster, a young man who visits Mrs. Sinclair from the West."
