Synopsis: [Reel Life, 23 August 1914, page ?] Fay is so unattractive that none of the boys will look at her. Seeing her sister breaking hearts right and left, she gets morose and despondent. The teacher of physical culture at school takes a strong personal interest in Fay, who makes her, her confidante. She tells Fay that if she will do exactly as she tells her, everything will be different. The teacher actually does inject some kind of magic into the girl, who finally succeeds in turning the tables on her pretty sister and all her beaux.
