Storyline

A story of the difference in the fate of two young girls caused by the difference in their home lives and training. This shows vividly the criminal folly of allowing a girl to reach womanhood without knowledge of certain facts essential to her welfare and happiness. A worse-than-foolish mother keeps her daughter in ignorance. In her efforts to avoid the consequences which follow, places the girl in the hands of an unscrupulous doctor with whom she is in partnership.
