Plot
Based upon a description in a film publication, Molly Shine (Sweet) is a simple girl who likes her books, and lives with a drinking father (Grimwood) and weeping mother (Kelso). One day she meets the young Duke (Meredith) who falls in love with her and marries her, astonishing her parents who do not believe it until they see the marriage certificate. After the marriage she faces the problems of all who marry outside of their class. The Duke's sister Lady Octavia (Lester) tries to snub her at every turn, resulting in Molly's dejection and wish to leave. When an opportunity presents itself, she attempts to escape but fate returns her to her husband in a peculiar but pleasing way.
