Plot
As described in a film magazine, Peggy (Minter) gives her father (Arbuckle) a surprise visit and after the lavish style he has maintained her in at boarding school, she is amazed to find the business he runs in such a dilapidated condition. She starts a new system of doing things and soon the grocery store starts making a profit. Clyde (Forrest), son of the ruthless and wealthy landowner Roland Gardiner (Stockdale), meets Peggy and falls in love with her. His father disapproves of her and insists that the son marry Maude Greenwood (Shelby). A storm plays havoc with the Gardiner mountain home, leaving them without food or supplies, and Maude and her mother depart in anger. Roland Gardiner seeks refuge in the little grocery store, and after Peggy takes advantage and provides some provisions at outrageously inflated prices, comes to the conclusion that she is the right girl for his son after all.
