A two-reel offering featuring Pauline Bush as the older sister of a young girl. The latter leaves school and goes to work in a canning factory, where the foreman makes the wrong kind of advances toward her. The older girl then invests her savings in fine clothing and lures the foreman away from the young girl. There is some very good acting in this number on the part of all the principals and it gets up a strong interest. The young girl, resenting the foreman's inconstancy, marries her former lover. The close is a little bitter, where they refuse to let the older sister look at her child. Some real life in this number. - The Moving Picture World, October 17, 1914
