- Bill is a truck driver. He and his wife, Mary, live in their little cottage, but are denied the blessing of children. Mary spends her spare time in looking over baby clothes and pictures of babies, and one day while looking over the paper she sees an ad for a woman to pose as a mother at a certain studio. She determines to use this opportunity to play mother and seeks out the studio mentioned. She is the ideal type that the artist has been looking for, and the expression of her mother love when the child is placed in her arms justifies the artist in his selection. She keeps her posing a secret from her husband, but he notices the change in her and how happy she seems to be. One day on the regular route he has a box to deliver at the studio. The artist is at work and hears a knock at the door. He tells Mary to step behind the screen and on opening the door Bill comes in with the box. Placing the box near the screen Bill knocks the screen over and discovers his wife, clad in draperies. He flies into a terrific rage and refuses to accept her explanation; then after threatening the artist with death unless he takes care of the girl. Bill leaves. Mary is heart-broken and the artist's mother, coming in at the time, comforts her. Bill becomes a typical bum and loafs around the country for a year. Finally the longing to see his wife overcomes him and he sets out for their home town. Mary, thrown upon her own resources, is compelled to pose for the artist regularly. The artist and his mother have been very kind to her, and the mother especially has watched over her. Mary is blessed with a child of her own and is posing for another picture. Bill stumbles into the room and finds his wife alone with the child, the artist having stepped out for a moment. There is a dramatic scene between the husband and wife, and when Bill learns the child is his the two are happily reconciled.—Moving Picture World synopsis
