Mace Greenleaf comes home to discover that he is the guardian of wealthy heiress Blanche Cornwall. She loves him at first sight, but she is not his type, nor is he interested in her money. One evening, however, he loses heavily gambling and signs a note to repay $500, plus 10% interest in a week. When the week passes, the usurer shows up demanding his money. Greenleaf does not have it, so he takes it from his father's safe while, unnoticed, Miss Cornwall sits in a big chair in the room.
It's a sweet little movie from Alice Guy, using her all-purpose heroine. Miss Cornwall was a long-time actress. She entered the movies in 1911 for Miss Guy, and for the next three years, she played in dozens of shorts for Solax. She retired to work for the Woman's Christian Temperance Union until her death in 1918, aged 50.
