Mother o' Mine plot
Mrs. Standing, an old-fashioned country mother, sacrifices herself to send her son John to college so he can have a better life. After finishing school, John moves to the city, where his financial success blinds him to the basic values his mother taught him. During an important social event one evening, Mrs. Standing arrives at her son's house with a wicker basket full of homemade jam. Embarrassed, John tells his wealthy fiancée, Catherine Thurston, that the old lady was his nurse. Mrs. Standing learns of her son's deception and goes home hurt.
