As described in a film magazine review, Anna Land is forewoman of the Garnet Can Works, controlled by William Silver, one of the late owner's sons. Another son, King Garnet, is destitute. Anna's ambition is to be a singer. King extorts $1,000 from Silver and aids Anna in making her debut, which is a success. Silver sends Anna abroad and follows her. She loses her voice as a result of an injury in a fire. King takes a job in the factory and works his way up. On Silver's return, he finds King has obtained control of the company. King makes Silver manager. The latter, knowing Anna really loves his brother, gives her up to King.
