In an actors' boarding house there exists a counter bond of sympathy a little slavey and Mildred Brown, an actress seeking an engagement. One day, while the actress goes on her rounds to the manager's office, the little girl creeps into her room. She opens the actress's old trunk and brings forth the dress in which she had played her star engagement. The child's fanciful brain immediately conjures up visions of the stage and its many attractions. Clasping the dress tightly in her little arms she lies on the bed, where she falls asleep, and dreams a tale of romance and adventure. The actress returns, and opening the door, finds the little slavey dreaming peacefully away. She awakens her and after hearing about the astonishing adventures the little girl has been having, gently explains that she has just received a contract from Frothingham and that as they need a little girl in the piece, she is taking the little slavey with her, away from drudgery and hardship, into a life of kindness.
