She is now raised in his enormous mansion and is introduced to the posh life. Lizette, however, doesn't know how to deal with it and has no idea about acting like a real society woman.
When Henry is out of town for business for a few months, Lizette finds a baby on her door step. Henry returns and Lizette says it's her own.

She is determined to raise the baby as her own and falls in love with a man. Henry gives her permission to marry him. Everything seems to be perfect, until the real mother of the baby shows up claiming the baby back.
