The tract tells of a woman (never named in the tract) arrested.  While being arrested, a neighbor watching prays for the woman's little girl (who's original name is not stated, but is around three years old based on later events).  The remainder of the tract is portrayed as God's answer to the woman's prayer.

The woman is sentenced to 13 years in Federal prison; her mother refuses to raise her own granddaughter and convinces "Clara" (the relationship is not disclosed between Clara and the mother) to raise the child, promising her $100/month.  Clara isn't concerned about how her husband, Herbert, may feel since "[[child pornography|Herbert '''''loves''''' little girls. His computer is filled with them]]."  The girl along with $650 is given to a young couple (Jan and Josh); Josh discusses the concept of "throwaway kids"<ref>A "throwaway child" is a variation on the traditional "runaway child", in that the parents take action to involuntarily remove the child from the family home, as opposed to the child leaving the home on his/her own.</ref> and suggests to Jan that they do this with the girl and take the money.  An angel causes the car to blow a tire; Jan takes the girl into the woods, abandons her as Josh repairs the car (with an old spare tire).  They leave and get up to 101 MPH before the spare tire blows, sending the car into two gas pumps, resulting in an explosion and sending the two to their deaths and their souls to Hell.
