The tired Italian climbs into an empty box-car with his monkey for a snooze, and the little girl climbs in after them. She gazes at the monkey so long that she herself falls into a deep sleep. The organ grinder, awakened by the jar of the car as it is coupled, jumps out, but little Isabel sleeps on, and when she awakens is several hundred miles from home. She is discovered by the brakeman and turned over to the Salvation Army for safekeeping. The only distinctive feature of her apparel is a plaid cap of peculiar pattern. She is adopted by wealthy people, grows up, marries, and eventually goes back to her home city, taking her own little girl with her. This child wanders out of the hotel and becomes lost, as her mother did before her, and, strangely enough, falls into the hands of Isabel's own parents, who still preserve the little coat which matched the plaid cap, a memento of the child they lost so long ago. The old lady generously sacrifices herself by donating the precious relic to the waif they have found. Isabel is finally restored to her mother, who in turn finds her own parents, so that the reunion is doubly happy. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
