Her Bleeding Heart

Marion Lane lives with her parents in a small town in the Middle West. Being the possessor of a fairly good voice, Marlon is jollied along by her vocal teacher and her friends who insist that if she could only get to the city and complete her studies she would become a second Patti. Marion persuades her parents to let her go to the city and later through a girl friend, who is studying art at the Academy, Marion is introduced into the best social set. She meets Allen Craven who takes advantage of her innocence and then runs away, leaving Marion to bear the responsibility of her indiscretion alone. Later at the maternity hospital, Marion meets Dr. George Page, who becomes interested in her, believing her to be a poor young widow. Marion grows despondent and tries to commit suicide, but is prevented from doing so by Dr. Page, who cheers her up and gives her a new incentive in life through a suggestion that she study nursing.
