The old gentleman is anxious that his daughter marry well and chooses as a suitor for her a man nearly his own age, to whom he owes considerable money. The daughter, however, refuses the match, being in love with a younger man. Upon her request, her sweetheart goes to her father to ask for her hand. This request so angers the old man that he dies in a fit of passion. His two children are left penniless. Their only remaining friend is their old tutor, who does his best to care for them. He secures a position as teacher in a country school, but on account of his age and infirmities, is unable to maintain discipline in the school and the post is taken away from him. Ralph, the sweetheart of Agnes, who in the meantime, has gone away attempting to forget her, returns and on meeting the tutor learns of their impoverished condition. He buys a book store and sets the old man up in business, thus saving him the humiliation of depending upon another. In the end, he wins the girl and the story ends happily.
