Nina hardly has finished residing a fairy story to Trixie, her little sister, in which there is a horrid mean stepmother, when their father enters and announces to them that they are about to acquire a stepmother of their own. This is more than self respecting children can be expected to endure, and taking their treasure with them, they flee from the house. They are finally found on the street by a policeman who questions them. At this moment, Constance, the sweet young woman who is betrothed to their father, rides up in her auto, recognizes the children and stops to bear their tale of woe. She is fairly aghast at their explanation to the officer that they are about to come under the sway of a horrid stepmother who will beat them, starve them, and work them to death. Of course, Nina and Trixie have never seen their father’s fiancée to know her as such. Constance seizes her opportunity to win the children. She tells them she will play their fairy godmother and take them to her home where no bad stepmother can ever get them. She gets them home and informs their father by ‘phone of the plot she has conceived; he enters into the “game,” and is overjoyed with the tact and sweetness of her attitude toward his little ones. Finally the kiddies grow homesick for Daddy, and Constance sends for him. Torn between their two loves, they make Daddy promise to marry their fairy godmother so they will not have to part from her; and thus everybody in the household is made happy.
