Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? A country girl who come to the city is usually considered prey by her more sophisticated cousins. Flo Greene, when in dire straits, is befriended by an artist, and soon their acquaintance is more than a passing one. He goes so far as to place a ring on her finger, and when he asks her not to wear it she consents, not knowing the significance of the request. But her eyes arc opened later, when she attends a party at his studio, and the Bohemian atmosphere so shocks her that she dashes out in a rage. Some time later, her younger sister comes for a visit from the country. She arrives at the house while Flo is away, and Flo’s husband sees her. He immediately begins to flatter her, and finally induces her to accompany him to the studio. Here he resumes his advances, and suddenly seizes her. Flo, who had divined this when she found nobody at home, now enters. The anguish of a beguiled woman who is trying to save her sister now confronts the roué in all its fury, and he is overwhelmed at Flo’s vigorous denunciation. Before he can recover, both have hurried from the room. The great city has been too much for the simple country girls, their only offense having been the possession of pretty faces. They pack their belongings and we soon see them back in the country, to the simplicity that they now hail as a haven of safety.
