Everything works together for good, a young man is driven from his home town by narrow-minded bigots. He returns years afterwards and finds that his mother has adopted his own child.

Mrs. Grant, a widow, has one son, Donald. He is not really a bad fellow, but is full of devilment and always getting himself into mischief. One day, he visits the village inn and follows this up by pinning a caricature of Elder McWirther on that gentleman's gate. It is decided by the deacons to expel him from the church.
