As described in a film magazine reviews,[5] Mimi Le Brun is introduced to Jerry Chandler by a cousin. He is asked to visit Mimi, and by the time he comes away he is in love. She refuses his proposal of marriage on the ground that he is too poor, and becomes engaged to a wealthy man whom she does not love. Jerry's uncle George dies and leaves him a ranch and what is said to be a castle. He and Mimi elope, but when they see the shack that was called a castle, there is a bad time in view of their disillusionment. Mimi accepts the situation until the rejected wealthy man appears on the scene. She plans to run away with him, but when Jerry meets with an accident, she goes with him instead.
