Synopsis
After graduating from a convent school, Betty travels to New York to visit her relatives, the Hastings. There the winsome and spirited Betty immediately attracts the attention of Jim Denning, a handsome and wealthy neighbor who soon proposes to her. Seeking excitement, however, Betty decides to experience city life before settling down. First, she finds work as a salesclerk, but when the floorwalker becomes too familiar, she quits. Showgirl Maizie Follette helps Betty land a job as a cabaret dancer, but the male customers make ungentlemanly advances towards her, and she abruptly departs. Next, Betty visits a gambling establishment dressed as a man, but this adventure, too, goes awry. Mistaken for a murderer, she is pursued by the police, and after leaping into a lake, she begins to swim ashore. Suddenly, Betty awakens to find Jim beside her and, relieved to find that the entire adventure has been a dream, she accepts his proposal on the spot.
