As an infant, Jit (Matty Roubert -- could he be any relation to the film's director, William L. Roubert?) was stolen from his parents, both theater people (Herbert Standing and Augusta Perry). A few years later, with the help of an old tragedian, the youngster becomes an actor. He gets his break in the typical way -- the child actor of a big production falls ill and Jit begs to take his place. The boy shows so much talent that a manager -who happens to be his real father -- takes him on and he makes a success for himself on Broadway. Only after this hit show does the father finally recognize that the boy is his own son.
