The story

thumb|Mary Miles Minter in "Tillie" (1922) As described in various film magazine reviews, Tillie Getz is a girl living in a community of Mennonites with her harsh father Jacob Getz, who treats her little better than a slave. Tillie longs for education and for an escape from the drudgery of her life, but only the kindly Doc Weaver understands her ambitions. Unbeknownst to Tillie, an elderly relative has willed her a small fortune, but only if she should enter into the Mennonite church by the time she has turned eighteen.
