As described in a film magazine review, Janet Loring deserts her young son Ranny when she marries the millionaire Malcolm Trask. Ranny becomes the tool of a criminal, but saves all of the money he gets so he can buy a home for the young woman that he loves. His mother misses him, and attempts to locate him by advertising for him. As a scheme, the crook sends Ranny in response to the advertisement, not knowing that he is really her son. Ranny takes money from his mother, but then becomes conscience stricken, and admits to her that he is an imposter. However, she convinces him that he belongs to her. Ranny promises to go straight, and Trask is happy to have a son. Ranny marries his sweetheart.
