Storyline

Betty Gibbs is given the position of librarian of the little village library. As soon as she is installed the library becomes very popular. Among those who come is Robert Prentice, a high school teacher, and he and Betty quickly become interested in each other. Betty's brother has recently enlisted in the army and is at a post near the village. Corporal Cutler, coming across Jack Gibbs while the boy is supposedly off duty, is abusive to him and finally irritates the boy so that he knocks the officer down. The seriousness of this offense is great and Jack, moreover, does not know how badly he has hurt Cutler. He therefore deserts and goes to find Betty. He comes into the library during the evening hour, and, in an agony of terror, tells Betty what an awful thing be has done and begs her to help him escape. She takes him to her own room and leaves him, only to find that Prentice has come in to talk with her. She goes back to her room and shuts Jack into her closet. This is not effective...
