While the basic plot to this overwrought drama sounds ludicrous enough to modern-day audiences, its most repugnant aspect is having white character actor Tully Marshall play a "voodoo-crazed Negro servant." Mrs. Jackson (Fannie Ward) is unhappily married. Her husband (Hobart Bosworth) is wealthy, but he's also brutal and cruel, so she lavishes her affection on her son, Billy (Billy Jacobs). Mrs. Lenning (Mabel Van Buren), a widow, sets out to destroy the marriage so she can have Jackson.

Surrounded by a group of children, poet James Whitcomb Riley narrates the story of Little Orphant Annie, who loses her mother at an early age and is sent to an orphanage. Annie charms the other children with her stories of goblins and elves until her uncle comes to claim her. He and her aunt force Annie into a life of drudgery, treating her so cruelly that Big Dave, a neighboring farmer, takes her from them and places her in the charge of the kindly Squire Goode and his wife.
