Plot: When vaudeville dancer, Milly West, is injured while performing, her doctor informs her that she can never bear children. While she is recuperating at Mrs. Babb's boarding house, fellow lodger Tim Ennis falls in love with Milly, who rejects him. When Tim writes his mother that he intends to commit suicide, she becomes alarmed and prevails upon David Muir, a friend of the family, to visit Tim. At Mrs. Babb's, David meets Milly and falls in love, while Tim, who has forgotten about suicide, becomes enamored of the minister's daughter when he discovers that she cooks delicious doughnuts. Meanwhile, David persuades Milly to return with him and recuperate in the country and later proposes to her. Remembering that she can never bear children, she plans to run away; but David discovers the truth and convinces her that they can adopt a child.
