Plot

The horrific working conditions in her father's factory are brought to Ruth Braddon's attention by a letter she receives. Interested in social work, she asks her father to instruct his junior partner Fred Howard (Lon Chaney) to show Ruth around the facilities. Howard is Ruth's fiance. Ruth sees a young woman who has fainted from poor ventilation, and speaks to a young male employee (David Hale) who asks Fred Howard for better working conditions, but Howard simply orders the man to get back to work. Ruth tells Hale she will speak privately to her father about the situation. Unbeknownst to Ruth, Hale is trying to get himself a raise to enable him to marry a girl named Bessie Clay.
