The Girl Who Won (1916)
Nancy, a street gamin, is the daughter of a noted woman pickpocket, and is allowed to run practically wild. One day she finds a dog whose foot is badly cut, and brings the poor animal to the office of Dr. Warden, a big surgical specialist. The doctor is so taken up by the innocent effrontery of the girl that he fixes up the sufferer. The wife of Dr. Warden has an affair with Dinistesky, a foreigner, and in attempting to get rid of him is killed. Poor Nancy sees the crime, and since she was on the doctor's grounds at the time, is suspected. In court, however, she proves her innocence, and Dr. Warden adopts her, sending her to school. Two years elapse and vacation time comes. Nancy is to come to her new home and be chaperoned by Mary Caldwell, fiancée of the doctor. Teddy Wilmont, a local bachelor, falls in love with the girl, but Mary tells him of her origin, and he ceases his attentions. Heartbroken, she prepares to go back to school, and one day sees Mary drive up to the house in a carriage. The horse bolts and runs away, but Nancy succeeds in catching him, saving Mary's life. The poor girl is injured in so doing, but is more than repaid when the doctor, disgusted at Mary for her disclosure, confesses his love for Nancy.
