Harry Laughton, a college man, had fallen in love with and married Daisy Woods, a country maiden, during his vacation, despite his father's commands and entreaties. Harry loved his simple, untutored little wife, but her lack of style and ignorance of his favorite books shamed and annoyed him. He grew more and more irritable, until broken-hearted little Daisy, believing that he no longer loved her, sorrowfully departed for her old home. But the streets were strange to her, and as she was looking up at a lamp-post to read the name, an automobile came suddenly around the corner and knocked her down. The owner of the automobile proved to be her father-in-law, who was soon captivated by her sweet simplicity, and gladly sent for his distracted son, to whom he gave a little fatherly advice, thereby preventing a repetition of what so nearly cost him his happiness.
