Conway by playing upon Nellie's vanity persuades her that her voice and personality would make a hit upon the stage and so wins her over to run away with him. Oswald returns home one night to find that he and his little son have been deserted. Nellie goes to the city and hopes to find in wine, fine dresses and song an antidote to the longing for her little son, but in vain. She is haunted by the vision of her deserted family and stung by repentance returns home. Little Bud in the meantime has run away from home to find his mother and becomes lost in the woods. He is later found unconscious by his anxious father and contracts pneumonia. The mother returns in time to find the child convalescent and is forgiven through Bud's intercession.
