A baby boy left in a clothes basket near Summerville Union County is found by Old Dan Brown. The child, named Basket Brown, thrives under the Browns care, grows into a respectable, educated man who later inherits a fortune. His neighbor Mike White’s son Algernon contrasts with Basket’s ascent, while White’s failures and theft history frame a moral about merit over birthright.
