Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Daisy, the charming daughter of a rich nobleman, falls deeply in love with her language teacher and agrees to marry him, although well knowing that her parents strongly object to the match and will disinherit her. For a time the young couple manage to live in comfort, but soon misfortune knocks at the door. The faithful little wife solicits pupils for her husband from among her former wealthy friends, but with little success; they now turn a deaf ear to the disinherited girl. Their condition grows from bad to worse and with starvation apparently staring them in the face, Daisy, in desperation, plans to take her own life by means of the charcoal fire, in order to lessen her husband's burden, and writes him a note to that effect. Fortunately, the husband returns not long afterward, and reading the note, rushes to his wife’s room, where he finds her stretched apparently lifeless upon the floor. He acts well in the crisis; opening the doors and windows, and by arduous work, he manages to restore life to her body. And it soon develops that the proud old parents hear of the attempt, and realizing the predicament of the unhappy pair, decide to forgive and forget and to take them back under their protection.
