Garry and Margaret are in
love but have to meet on the sly because her father forbids Garry
seeing her. |
 |
Selfridge sends Margaret
away for a long time. When she returns with a baby, he is furious.
"You shameless girl . . . you!" Tearfully, Margaret
tells him, "Garry and I married for love. I have no reason
to be ashamed." |
 |
When Garry sneaks in one
night to see his wife and baby, Selfridge has him arrested for
burglary and sent to prison. |
 |
Three and a half years later, Peggy
has grown into a beautiful, precocious child. While her mother
has not been well since Garry was taken away, Peggy has been
kept inside with a nurse and unable to play with other children.
The nurse expects her to sit still and listen while she reads
Elinor Glyn's "Three Weeks." |
 |
Peggy slips away from the
nurse, and the butler and cook let her hide out in the kitchen.
When the nurse comes in, she hides in the flour bin but makes
sure she takes the bowl of chocolate frosting with her. |
 |
As they celebrate Peggy's
birthday in her room, she sets an extra place. Selfridge asks
her, "Are you expecting someone else?" and to Selfridge's
surprise, Peggy says, "Mother said my Daddy might come." |
 |
Peggy sneaks out to be with
some of the neighborhood kids. She would like to have one of
their bananas and offers to trade her dress to the other little
girl for one. |
 |
Peggy is lost and has a stomachache
from eating too many bananas. Garry, just out of prison after
three and a half years and destitute, finds her and takes her
to the police station so she can be returned to her parents.
He has no idea this is his daughter, and she doesn't know this
is her father. |
 |
Garry is convinced by a man
he was with in prison to do one more safe robbery to get them
started now that they are released. Not realizing whose home
he's invading, he goes into Selfridge's Westchester home where
Peggy and Margaret are also staying. Peggy walks in on him as
he's robbing the safe. |
 |
Selfridge comes in late and
surprises Garry. Thinking he's just any other burglar, Selfridge
shoots him - while Peggy watches. Margaret rushes down the stairs
and realizes this is her husband she hasn't seen for almost four
years. |
