Meanwhile, a former lover of the show's prima donna returns. In a quarrel she had cut his hand, ending his career as a musician, and he has vowed revenge. He tries to shoot her, but the little girl deflects the bullet. She recovers, however, and the prima donna and her former sweetheart finally realize that they are still in love.—Pamela Short
- There was a little girl who toiled in a department store and lived a lonely existence in her attic room. Every night she would look out of her window into the sky and imagine she was gazing into the court of fairyland. There was a rich man of the city who was also a dreamer of dreams. One day he missed his handkerchief and stopped in a nearby store to purchase one. The little girl waited upon him, and she admired the handsome man greatly. The rich man is induced by a popular prima donna to back her theatrical venture. The little girl is discharged from the store and seeks work elsewhere in vain. The rich man has conceived as a means of advertising the show he is backing the idea to place a slipper on exhibition and give employment to the girl who can wear it. The little dreamer wanders past the theater and her attention is attracted by two girls who had worked with her in the store, talking excitedly as they looked at a newspaper and then throw it away. The little girl picks up the paper and sees the announcement of the competition. After a moment's hesitation, she goes in, tries on the slipper and it, of course, its her perfectly. She is given the promised engagement. A man with an injured hand is waiting at the stage door. When the prima donna enters he thinks of the time when he was an accomplished violinist. The prima donna had apparently fallen violently in love with him, but later was unfaithful, and during a quarrel, the woman had cut his hand in such a manner that he was crippled for life. The little girl, greatly fatigued, takes refuge in the prima donna's dressing room and goes to sleep. After the show several members of the company congregate in the prima donna's room. The prima donna urges the rich man to stay after the others have gone, and when the little girl wakes up she sees the two. The cripple has entered the theater unseen, sneaks into the prima donna's room and is in the act of shooting her when the little girl rushes forward and deflects the bullet. There is a happy ending for the little girl has found her Prince at last, and there is a reconciliation between the cripple and her former sweetheart.—Moving Picture World synopsis
