- Walter, a clerk, goes blind and is unable to work. He has a young wife, and a child of four years. Jane, the wife, finds work as a model and supports her little family. Stanton, the head of the concern employing Jane, becomes infatuated with her, and plies her with many attentions which she refuses to accept. She learns that her husband can be cured by an operation which will cost $1,000. This is a ray of hope, but they grow heartsick again, realizing that they can never get that amount together. The next day at the office, Stanton notes Jane's sad face, asks that he be permitted to make her happy, and also asks what she wants. With set face she answers, "One thousand dollars." He smiles quizzically at her and writes her a check. Next the operation is performed and it is a success, Stanton calls on Jane and sees her tending her husband, with her little girl clinging to her skirt. He understands and turns away bitterly, his thousand lost to him. But the old doctor, who understands then where the check came from, takes it from his pocket and destroys it clearing Jane from the weight of her debt. Jane breaks down, but with a great effort, she pulls herself together and faces her husband who knows nothing of what has transpired and must never know.—Moving Picture World synopsis
