Plot
As described in a film magazine, Polly Ann (Love) lives at the poor farm and dreams of one day becoming a lady. The poor farm directors assign her to work for Jud Simpkins (Lockney), keeper of the village tavern. She is coaxed away from the inn one night by a cheap actor after playing a small part with a wandering theatrical company, but is rescued by Howard Straightlane (Lee), who has left the city to live down his craving for drink. Howard becomes the village school teacher and Polly Ann one of his students. Finally, she is sent for by a sick relative, who is in the clutches of scheming relatives. Polly Ann nurses the relative back to health and then returns to the village. The reunion of the teacher and pupil follows and the two are made happy by the arrival of Howard's uncle, who give the two his blessing.
