Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Jane Galvin objects to the society leper her mother has selected to be her husband. Her father is secretly delighted that she spurns Milton Vanderpool. He takes her to a fashionable resort in the mountains. There, while walking, she meets John Barth, a young civil engineer. She falls in love with him but conceals the fact that she is wealthy. Barth is similarly affected, but believes her a poor mountain girl. Mother and Milton come to the hotel and the girl can no longer steal away to see the engineer. Some days after she sees him with her father. The latter is approving of his work for him and signing a new contract. The daughter indicates that she, too, would willingly sign a contract with the engineer and father is delighted. Mother is finally won over, too.
