Sis, a poor orphaned country girl, is shunned by all the other children in the small town where she lives. It is Sis's ambition to become a famous actress, and when an opportunity arises for her to go the city, she seizes it. There she secures a position as a maid in a theatrical boardinghouse. Among the boarders are Jim, a leading man; Ned, an out of work actor; and Flossie, an ingenue. One morning while rehearsing, Jim sees Sis sweeping the floor and persuades the girl to help him rehearse his lines. Her acting talent astonishes him, and he begins to see real promise in her. Sis's future looks grim, however, when she is accused of stealing Flossie's jewelry. Sis is saved by Jim who discovers that Ned is the real thief. Upon Sis's release, Flossie is taken ill and Sis fills in for her on stage, becoming an instant success. Sis's happiness is then made complete when Jim pledges his love to her.

Flesh and Spirit Synopsis

Chemist Donald Wallace is an atheist who believes science is the only God. He is loved by his cousin, Truth Eldridge, but is too self centered and too attentive to his radium experiments to notice her affection. Instead, he falls for Paula Roberts. When they come upon a lost little girl named Peggy, Wallace decides to take care of her until he finds her parents, but despite being a kind man, he insists to the girl that there is no God. James Dale, Wallace's assistant and Truth Eldridge's secret admirer, accidentally kills her when he tries to poison Wallace. Shortly after her death, Truth returns in spirit form to convince Wallace that God exists after all.
