Little Nell the Orphan Girl or A Fight for a Woman's Honor
Nelson Goodhue
He Ain't Done Right By Nell
by Wilbur Braun
Synopsis
A gay nineties comedy.
When Hilton Hays learns that Nell is a foundling and has no right to the Perkins name, he threatens to tell because Nell will not respond to his advances.
Nell is too honest to marry the manly hero, Jack Logan, under the circumstances, so she dons her cape and prepares to roam the cruel world seeking a refuge for her broken heart.
But wealthy Burkett Carleton has Hays arrested for stealing, and he discovers Nell is his long lost granddaughter.
