The happy, but poor, Peg O'Connell is living in an Irish fishing village with her loving father, Patrick Shamus O'Connell when she learns that she is a wealthy heiress.

There are conditions attached to her inheritance, though: she must leave her home and live in England, and her father must agree to never see his beautiful daughter again.

Tearfully Peg packs her things, and clutching her little dog Michael, sets out for her new home with the snobbish Chichester family.

At the Chichester's Peg meets and falls in love with Gerald Markham (Jerry), a handsome friend of the family who is charmed by Peg's beauty and innocence.

Peg soon discovers that the Chichester's are only interested in her money, she renounces her inheritance and returns to her father and friends in Ireland.

She pines away for Jerry, and is happily surprised when he journeys to the little fishing village to declare his love for her. Peg accepts Jerry's proposal and they live happily everafter.

This "Cinderella Romance" was based on the long-running Broadway play written by J. Hartley Manners for his wife, Laurette Taylor.

Miss Taylor made a virtual career of the play, performing the role of Peg O'Connell on the Broadway stage for over twenty years.
