- A knight refuses to let her son wed a pregnant peasant so his daughter compromises herself with the girl's brother.
- Rosie and her brother, Dick Blair, are tenants on the Capel estate in England. Sir John Capel is an old autocrat who lives with his daughter Marjorie and his son Stuart. Love affairs of different nature progress between the two poor tenants and the children of their employer. Dick is whole-heartedly in love with Marjorie and, inspired by her, departs to London to see whether the field of fiction holds any place for him. And while he is away, Rosie and Stuart see more of each other, and on one summer's evening the wild youth and the trusting girl venture to fields far from the conventional. In time, Dick, his success and fortune won, sends for Rosie and it does not take him long to discover that something is the matter with his little sister. Pressing her, he learns of the escapade with Stuart. In high dudgeon he goes to the Capel town residence and demands that justice be done so that his sister may resume her "place in the sun." Sir John will hear nothing of it, although Stuart is repentant. Marjorie, however, develops a great pity for the sister of the man she loves and decides that she will teach her father and brother a lesson. That night she secrets herself in Dick's room and succeeds, gloriously succeeds, in compromising herself with him. When her father and brother enter they are horror-struck, at least the former is. Stuart had come to find Rosie and to offer her marriage and he sees through the trick. Of course, after this lesson Sir John offers no resistance to his son's marriage. Rosie resumes her place in the sun and the dual romance ends happily.
