- A poor young man is seriously ill, but his rich employer won't help him, instead spending a fortune on a pearl necklace for his wife. The poor man recovers with help from his kind neighbors while the rich man's wife becomes ill and dies, with the useless necklace by her side.—Anonymous
- A multi-millionaire presents his wife with a string of pearls worth a quarter of a million dollars, arousing the vanity of his spouse. But of what use is this string of material pearls when sorrow comes? Will it save her from the grave? No. On the other side of town is shown the spiritual string of pearls in the form of charitable, loving souls, following the Christian injunction: "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Among these is a young man in the employ of this multi-millionaire, stricken with a serious illness, and doomed to die if not sent to the beneficial influence of the country. This will require money, which the young man has not, and his employer turns a deaf ear on his sister's pleas for help with which to send him away. The poor man's neighbors gather together of Christmas savings an amount sufficient to defray the expense of his trip, and are delighted with the result of their self-denial when he returns later completely cured.—Moving Picture World synopsis
