Tempest was applied to her on account of her fiery nature. Fanny is Sunshine's name. She is called Sunshine because of her sweet nature. At the opening of the play Tempest is engaged to Mr. Wilmott. a school teacher, and in a way loves him. Wilmott is held in high esteem by the father, who started him in business. The girls leave home to attend school in another town. Wilmott meets the girls and is treated rather coldly by Tempest. Here we are introduced to Dr. Lacy, a wealthy doctor from New Orleans, who is visiting his friend Wilmott. Tempest, on meeting him, becomes infatuated and wishes to break her engagement with Wilmott, when she observes her sister, Sunshine, making an impression on Lacy her heart fills with jealousy. As an incident in the play, disclosing the different natures of the girls, we have a few scenes showing the father visiting the girls. Tempest is ashamed of her father for his ill manners. Sunshine, loving her daddy, overlooks his rough ways. He decides to take his girls home for a holiday. Lacy proposes and is accepted by Sunshine before they leave. Tempest, secretly determined that it shall not be, wishes her sister every happiness. Once home Tempest bribes Dunn, the postmaster, to turn the letters passing between her sister and Lacy to her. Later, word is received that Wilmott is ill and that he calls for Tempest. Tempest refuses to go to him and writes him telling him that her love was a mistake. The shock causes his death. Sunshine and her father are beside him at the time. Wilmott, blind through sickness, believes that Tempest is beside him and he asks the girl to kiss him as he dies. Time passes. Lacy receives a letter from Sunshine telling him that she has ceased to care for him, that he could find a better woman in her sister. Sunshine receives a similar letter from Lacy. These letters have been forged by Tempest. Tempest then visits New Orleans with her mother and through a clever ruse, gets Lacy to propose to her. The marriage is arranged to take place at her father's home. When the day of the marriage arrives, Sunshine, heartbroken, keeps to her room. Dunn, who has kept the letters back, is ill, and believing that he is going to die, he confesses to his mother. She forces him to go and tell the truth to the parties he has injured. He arrives just as the marriage is about to take place. Tempest, in her rage and embarrassment, falls to the floor unconscious. Sunshine is sent for and told the truth. The father insists that the wedding take place with Sunshine taking the place of Tempest. This is done to the satisfaction of all concerned. Tempest is ill for some time. When she recovers she is penitent and seeks forgiveness, and as the father grows older he finds in her the comfort she had long held back. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
