- Roscoe Paine owns the lane that runs through the Cape Cod fishing village in which he lives, but he allows anyone to use it out of gratitude for the many kindnesses shown to him and his invalid mother. James Colton and his wife arrive in Cape Cod, with their daughter, Mabel. Mrs. Colton is ill and is under doctor's orders to "take rest." James offers to buy Roscoe's serene property, but Roscoe declines, until he desperately needs the money. While the men conduct the closing deal on a launch, Victor Carver, who is in the village to get information for Colton's Wall Street rival, inadvertently causes their boat to explode. Mabel Colton rows to their rescue; Colton is severely burned and incapacitated. While the financier recovers, Roscoe advises Mabel what financial decisions to make to save her father's stock market investments. Carver confesses his villainy, and Mrs. Colton is suddenly cured. After James heals, he bestows his new property on the town and offers Roscoe a fine position. Romance blooms between Roscoe and Mabel.
- Returning from France after the war, John Tabor informs Palma May of her brother's death and offers the penniless girl his help, but she refuses it, preferring to work as a cabaret dancer. Later, John and Palma meet again, marry, and go west to manage a lumber camp, as instructed by John's wealthy father, Jarvis Tabor. Displeased by John's choice of wife, the elder Tabor tests the couple with difficult living conditions, which eventually discourage Palma, and she accepts the party invitation of Keith Merwyn, manager of the cabaret where she starred. Meanwhile, Merwyn effects a disturbance among the lumbermen, endangering John. Palma returns home just as Jarvis Tabor comes to John's rescue. Reconciliation and paternal blessings follow.
