- A wealthy widow is left despaired by the death of her only child. One day two little orphaned children looking for Heaven in hopes of finding their mother, come to the grieving woman's door. Believing they have found Heaven they ask for their Mama. The sight of the two darling waifs impresses the woman so, she immediately decides to adopt them, thus filling the void from her own lost child.—Pamela Short
- The child is the real sunshine of life, and when Mrs. Weston lost her only little one, she, though a widowed mother, experienced her greatest grief. Her future seemed destined to be clothed in gloom. Her heart almost breaks as she views the empty crib in which her departed little girl formerly slumbered. About this time there are brought to a neighboring orphan asylum two little girls, whose mother has died and left them dependent. The poor little tots cry incessantly for their mama, but the good sisters tell them that their mama has gone to Heaven and is now at God's house. They then cry that they want to go to mama. Indicating that they will surely go. The next day during recreation hour on the asylum grounds, they take advantage of the excitement attending a quarrel between two of the children and slip out through the gate. Once outside, they start off to find mama in Heaven, asking passersby, "Which way is Heaven?" After a long and tiresome journey, they come to the mansion of Mrs. Weston, which is a veritable paradise. Its grandeur convinces them that they have at last reached the goal. Through the broad flower-lined avenues the little ones wander until they come upon Mrs. Weston seated on one of the verandas. Approaching her they ask: "Please, mam, is this Heaven, and is our mama here?" Mrs. Weston, of course, does not understand their query at first, but it suddenly dawns upon her when she sees them clasp each other weeping. Also, their asylum garb indicates where they came from, and what they are, waifs. It being late in the afternoon, she decides to keep them overnight at her home, placing them in the empty crib. The sight of these two little darlings sleeping in the little crib dispels the gloom that has enveloped her and she makes up her mind never to part with them, hence she writes to the asylum the following letter: "Dear Mother Ignatius, The two little waifs that came to me I have decided to adopt legally, and take this opportunity to bestow a regular endowment in the support of your great charity as a memorial to my lost child. Sincerely yours, Helen B. Weston."—Moving Picture World synopsis
