Poor Hako, a Japanese boy, is sold into bondage to a cruel fisherman who makes his life a burden and even more wretched than his physical deformities and weakness. Morning Glory, a little Japanese girl, in passing the fisherman's hut with her mother, sees Hako, looks into the sad face and feels sorry for him. Her father is a florist, and when he gives his daughter a couple of chrysanthemum plants, she gives one of them to Hako, who stealthily plants it where it cannot be seen by his cruel master, at night watering and cultivating it as the only bright thing in his unhappy life, and his sole possession. Morning Glory's father fails in business and is put in jail for debt, to the great delight of Keiki, his enemy and competitor in business. The Prince of the province offers a reward of five hundred yen to the child who brings the finest specimen of chrysanthemum on Festival Day. Hako is delighted, and hopes to win the prize and his freedom at the same time. Morning Glory rejoices in the thought that she will win the prize and her father's release from prison. Keiki, in passing Morning Glory's garden, sees her watching her cherished plant and its remarkable flower. He waits until nightfall, and, stealing into the garden, destroys the precious plant. The little girl, on discovering her loss, is inconsolable. Hako happens to be passing her house at this moment and resolves to sacrifice his chrysanthemum to the child's purpose, for he loves the girl who has always been so kind and good to him. At night Hako removes his plant and transplants it in Morning Glory's garden in place of the one she lost. The child goes into the garden the next morning. Her joy is unbounded. She thinks the gods have answered her prayer. The Festival Day arrives and Morning Glory wins the prize; her father is released from prison and Hako's sacrifice has won the great happiness and joy which is only the compensation gained by those who make it.
