[2] As described in a film magazine,[3] Eleanor Hamlin (Roberts), who has been living with an old and impoverished couple, is adopted by two couples, Mr. and Mrs. Sears and Beulah Page (Greenwood) and Peter Bolling (Unterkircher), young people who have read of cooperative parenting and wish to try out the theory.

It works very well until Jimmy Sears (Cooley) loses control of himself under the spell of his adopted daughter's kisses.

Beulah then tells Eleanor that she is engaged to Peter, and the heart-broken little girl goes back home.

Eleanor returns, sees the true state of things, and asks God to let her be always their little girl.

For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required, in Reel 4, that the kissing scene at the piano be shortened by eliminating the last half.
