Premise

According to the Daily Telegraph "it is the story of the love of the son of a millionaire factory owner for a girl who works in the factory, and the girl's devotion to her lover in the latter's trouble. This devotion changes the millionaire's contempt for the girl into admiration, and he consents to their marriage."^[11]
