Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Squire Chester, on his deathbed, leaves his property to be equally divided between his niece, Letty, a miniature painter, and his nephew, Julian, a young spendthrift, on condition that they marry. Julian, without knowing who she is, rescues his cousin from being run over. She, however, discovers his identity and willingly consents to the terms of the will. Julian indignantly refuses to marry any woman for money and will listen to no remonstrations. He gets terribly in debt, is pursued by bailiffs and is forced to leave his lodgings. Unconsciously he takes refuge in the same lodging house in which Letty lives. He is taken ill with fever and Letty nurses him back to health. He falls in love with her, marries her and, without knowing it, fulfills the terms of the will. He afterward willingly forgives the innocent deception practiced on him by Letty.
