Dora, a widow, is supporting herself and her six-year-old son, Jimmy, by working as Ware’s secretary. Ware falls in love with her and they arrange to marry. Dora believes Ware to dislike children, and desiring to keep him in ignorance of Jimmy, places him to board with Mrs. Gray. While on their honeymoon, a fire occurs in the tenement where Mrs. Gray lives, and Jimmy is taken charge of by Mrs. Dick, a shrewish woman, who ill-treats him. Mrs. Dick sends Jimmy on the street to sell newspapers, and he helps business by singing in a marvelously sweet voice. When Dora and her husband return from their honeymoon, she cannot find Jimmy, and engages a detective to search for him. Overcome by grief, she determines to tell her husband all. In the meantime, Ware, her husband, has heard Jimmy singing on the street corner, and takes him to his office. Dora finds husband and son there, and they are happily reunited.
