Synopsis

Tired of the Great White Way "that $ jack $ built," cabaret girl Patsy Delaney goes home to her mother on the farm. A romance develops between Patsy and Tom Corbin, a wholesome country lad. Tom feels acutely his lack of manners in comparison to those of Patsy's friends, and he imitates the style of a well-dressed loafer with disastrous results for their relationship. Patsy's friend puts Tom wise, and he goes back to his former ways and regains her love.
