The bright spot in his life is Mary, the little daughter of Widow Fogarty, who lives in a cottage next to his cheap clothing store. Feinstein works hard. Mary's mother dies, leaving her alone in the world. Feinstein takes Mary. A lawyer has told a wealthy couple about the orphan, and, eager to adopt the child, they hurry to Feinstein's store, where he denies knowing anything about the girl. However, Mary comes in and runs to him. The rich people take the child to their country home. Three weeks later, Mary, seeing a man about to drive away in a machine, climbs on the back of the car and is driven past Feinstein's store. She rushes in and soon is telling about a pretty doll she has seen in a window. The old man is almost delirious with joy, hastens to buy the toy for her. Meanwhile, the child's adopted parents arrive and are just going away with Mary when Feinstein returns. He snatches her away and prepares to fight, but the wealthy man points out the difference in their homes and shows him that Mary is better off with them. Feinstein realizes the truth and allows them to take the child. Later Mary is seen playing in a gorgeous room where the rich man and his wife watch her. But at this same time Feinstein is fondling the doll. He seems to think it is the child, and putting it tenderly to bed, turns off the light and slips from the room.
