Plot
According to the film magazine,[1] "Mag o' the Alley, known as "litle wildcat,” [sic] lands in court one day after stealing a watch and fighting with every man in sight. Robert Ware, a friend of Judge Arnold, is anxious to give her a chance to reform. Despite the judge’s ideas, he takes her into his home and tries to bring her up to be a lady. Four years later, Arnold is wounded at the front and lands on the German side. He is brought back to life by a wonderful nurse who never tells him her name. When he comes back to the United States he meets her again at Robert Ware’s home and learns that his nurse was the same girl he had given up as hopeless. He finds that she has overheard him tell of his love for her and makes him completely happy by accepting him."
