- Three old bachelors live in the same garret and have sworn never to let a woman come between them. One day a little girl, called the Cricket, is engaged in the theater in which they are all employed. She makes a great hit, and they proceed to fall in love with her. She is about six years old. They escort her home on the night of her debut, and find that her mother has succumbed to heart failure. They adopt her and live in perfect happiness, each winning success. Their first disagreement comes over her marriage. She is determined to wed none but Pascal, an actor, who first, as a boy, introduced her to the theater. They are determined that she shall marry the son of their old friend, the banker. The quarrel grows, and ends in her leaving them for Pascal. Pascal and the Cricket win success on the stage, and one night the three foster fathers come to see them. One of them is asked by the usher if he may leave a child of one of the actors in his box. The child recognizes the old man from a photograph which her mother loves. The old fellow struggles with his pride, but finally steals the little edition of the Cricket, gets his two cronies together, and makes for the old garret for a reunion. The Cricket's parents are distracted at the child's disappearance, when a note arrives begging them to come, and then peace is restored.—Moving Picture World synopsis
