Mary lives with her grandparents and is the idol of their hearts. Her simplicity so impresses Crane that he returns sometime later to pay ardent court, and, winning the girl's hand, he takes her to the city. Engrossed with her new environment Mary forgets the old folks who wait patiently for a letter. One morning a real estate man comes to the farm and offers $25,000 for the plate. Unable to endure their loneliness, the old couple decide to pay a visit to their loved one and start for the city. They arrive during an afternoon reception and their appearance in the drawing room startles the self-satisfied guests and causes Mary no little uneasiness. She escorts her grandparents to another room and endeavors to make them comfortable. Meanwhile Crane has made an investment which results disastrously and he is caught in a declining market. Unable to meet the demands he comes home desperate and informs his wife. The conversation is overheard by the grandparents who decide to sell the farm. They have preserved the card of the real estate man and, calling upon him, they make the sale. A check for $25,000 is left for Mary, with a note, and the old folks start back to pack up their belongings. When the sacrifice is discovered, Crane and his wife come to a realization of their selfishness. They hasten to the country in a motorcar and induce the grandparents to return to the city and make their home with them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
