The story of a working mother (Mae Marsh) who loses her baby to a corrupt orphanage, is a morality tale about the inconsistency of present-day laws and how two innocents are dragged into its net. Through no fault of their own, they are at its mercy until a kindlier fate rescues them and returns them to a world that condemned them without evidence. Shot originally as a short feature, a portion of which was used for one of the stories in Intolerance, this full-length version contains many scenes not shown before, plus some new ones Griffith shot in 1918.
