Plot
True Heart Susie (Gish) secretly loves her neighbor, William Jenkins (Harron), but neither, it seems, can confess their feelings for each other. William eventually goes off to college. He returns, but, to Susie's disappointment, he marries a fast-living young woman named Bettina (Seymour). In the end, Bettina dies and William and Susie finally admit their love for each other.
