Beginning when they play and sing in the saloons together, passing through the time when she is a coon shouter in a popular priced theater and then under his careful training becomes a good concert singer, she finally accepts an offer of a leading role in a big production in a large city. This, of course, leaves the old father alone as he cannot travel with her and at their parting she gives him some money to take care of him until the first salary day comes around. As he turns from the railroad station he is followed by two men who have noticed the money. By the river's edge they attack him, take the money and put him, unconscious, into a small boat, which is shoved off into the stream. At Rest Haven he is cared for by fisher folk who find him, but he has lost his memory and all idea of who he is or where he belongs. The singer is fairly beside herself because she can get no word and finally employs a detective to trace him. The years roll by and the great singer comes for a vacation to Rest Haven and is asked to sing at a benefit concert for the Old Men's Home. The detective, coming there, tells her that his search is over, that he has exhausted every resource and failed to find her father. Later, among the fisher folk, he sees one who resembles the picture which he had. He questions him but the old man can tell him nothing of his past and so he invites him to the concert. Thus the father is brought face to face with his daughter, but while something in his mind puzzles him, he is unable to place her until she sings an old song which he taught her. Then, of course, recognition comes, and his mind is restored to him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
