- Grace rejects poor, honest-hearted Dave, in favor of Howard, the flashy village beau. Dave resolves to show Grace there is something in him, by working hard and raising himself above the ordinary standard. At a house party, Grace is the victim of a chafing-dish explosion, which leaves her blind, with hopes of a cure in an operation, which, of course, requires money. For this she appeals to Howard, but be cruelly refuses. In fact he has no patience with her in her misfortune. She now realizes how shallow Howard's character is. Dave, by hard work and frugal living, has saved quite a little money, which he intends as the foundation of a future, should Grace reconsider, but fate intervenes, and his close application to work has stricken him blind, hence his life's savings seem destined to be given to restore his sight. While in the outer office of the celebrated oculist, he hears Grace's voice, and for the first time learns of her misfortune. From bits of conversation overheard, he realizes Grace's helplessness, so calling the specialist in, he gives him the money he intended for his own operation, for Grace's, enjoining secrecy as to whom it came from. This sacrifice makes life for him a long, dark road. Grace later finds out the truth.—Moving Picture World synopsis
