Argument:
John Whitman comes back home,
and is received with joy by his maiden aunt, Jane Whitman, who has been the
same as a mother to him, and his sister, Rose. John brings with him a
young New Yorker, Wilfred Clay, his college friend, who has urged him to sell
the farm and live in New York and see "real life." John sells
the farm. Act two passes in New York, various events lead up to
catastrophe. The last act brings the characters back to the
country. John has lost everything and is in despair, but he, Aunt Jane
and Rose meet with a joyful surprise. The real owner of their old home
proves to be David Holden, who wins Rose and is the means of bringing peace and
happiness back to his old friends.
