Banished by man's greed, Flibberty has nevertheless left his mark, and the guilty Adam, newly touched with understanding, goes to the end of the world in search of him. At last he finds him, and leads him back, but Flibbertygibbet cannot enter into their lives again until all hearts are kind; and there is one young girl, Nannie, who will not forgive Adam his former error.
