Summary
Mrs. Savage has been left ten million dollars by her husband, and wants to
make the best use of it, in spite of the efforts of her grown-up stepchildren
to get their hands on it. These latter, knowing that the widow's wealth is now
in negotiable securities, and seeing they cannot get hold of it, commit her
to a "sanatorium" hoping to "bring her to her senses." But Mrs. Savage is
determined to establish a fund to help others realize their hopes and dreams.
In the sanatorium she meets various social misfits, men and women who just
cannot adjust themselves to life, people who need the help Mrs. Savage can
provide. In getting to know them, she realizes that she will find happiness with
them, and plans to spend the rest of her life as one of them. But when the
doctor tells her there is no reason why she should remain, she hesitates to go
out into a hard world where people seem ready to do anything for money.
The self-seeking stepchildren are driven to distraction by their vain efforts to
browbeat Mrs. Savage, but she preserves her equanimity and leads them
on a merry chase. At last her friends conspire to get rid of her stepchildren,
and through their simple belief in the justice of her cause, they enable
Mrs. Savage to carry out her plans.
