Lucy, his wife, tires' of the drudgery of her humble home. Perry Dunn,. a world politician, who is a boarder, saves the situation, and induces her to elope with him whilst Dick is away at a fire. At this conflagration Dick rescues a woman and her child, and, the former1 dying, he brings Drina (the child) home with the intention of adopting it, for the Tays are childless, only to find his hearth and home deserted. Eighteen years pass, Drina grows into a beautiful young woman, and becomes engaged to Tom Brand, a fire lieutenant, under Dick Tay, now chief of the brigade. Drina obtains a situation in a fashionable dressmaking establishment run by. "Madame Celeste" (really Lucy Tay), aiid whilst. there is seen and coveted by Dunn. Drina is induced to attend a.party, and whilst it is in progress a fire breaks out, which is the indirect cause of a happy reconciliation.
