Synopsis
Country girl Hester Bevins, although in love with Jerry Newcombe, a delivery boy, cannot bring herself to settle down for life in the humdrum town in which they live. In New York she falls in with a fast set, headed by Charles G. Wheeler, a wealthy businessman, and she learns the ways of the city from her companions, Kitty and "Speed." Later, Hester learns that Jerry has been seriously wounded in the war in France, and finding him blinded and with only a few weeks to live, she decides to make his remaining days happy. After a struggle with Wheeler, she brings Jerry to New York and marries him. When Jerry dies, Hester has visions of him calling her from her surroundings, and consequently she leaves her life of luxury with Wheeler, gets a job, rents a furnished room, and finds comfort in her new life.
