Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] the father of Ralph has secretly married, cutting the boy out of his inheritance. His Aunt Maggie grooms the boy to take possession of his title of nobleman and to evict the usurpers from the estate. To develop strength, he joins the circus and roughs it. A boyhood enemy is overwhelmed by him when he becomes friends with the son of the usurpers. Later, the friendship with the son brings him to renounce all claims to the estate. He marries Dora, the daughter of the circus owner.
