As described in a film magazine review,[2] Geraldine Brent, known as Gerry, goes to Chicago to be educated at her rich aunt's expense. The land on which her mother's house stands is mortgaged but has oil on it, and Colonel Pettijohn conspires to obtain possession of it. The mortgage is foreclosed and Mrs. Brent is taken to the workhouse. Gerry meets former boy acquaintance Dan Forbes and becomes his sweetheart. They ride to the workhouse and rescue Mrs. Brent. Colonel Pettijohn's schemes are defeated and Mrs. Brent regains her property.
With no prints of Leave It to Gerry located in any film archives,[3] it is a lost film.
