Plot

As described in a film magazine, Meg Mackenzie is the orphaned niece of two crabbed, stingy old men, Donald and Duncan Craig, brothers in a small country town. They force her to become engaged to Joe Dobbs, assistant to his mother who runs the village blacksmith shop. Stephen Ware, who is writing a novel in a shack nearby, is accused of robbing the post office and hides in the Craig home overnight while the two brothers are away. When the brothers return, they force Meg to marry Stephen at once. The real burglar is discovered and Stephen's name is cleared. Meg discovers that she actually loves Stephen, and wins him away from Beatrice Carlisle, a young woman he had been engaged to. She also gives him the inspiration for the concluding chapter in his novel.
