Plot



As described in a film magazine, Canadian lumberman Angus MacDonald (Farnum) falls in love at first sight with New York cabaret dancer Ruth Mayo (Pawn) and marries her. Following his hasty marriage, he takes his bride back to the Canadian woods where his financial interests are centered. Ruth, however, longs for New York City and, to keep the peace, they move back to the City where a child is born to them. A strike at the lumber camp takes Angus back to Canada, and during his absence Doris takes the child for a tour of Europe with her old dance partner Ted Raymond (McCullough). Six years later Angus discovers his daughter is the big attraction in the same Broadway cabaret where he met her mother. He rescues her from the midnight show and they go to a hotel where Doris meets them, and there is a reconciliation.
