Synopsis
Desiring to be a novelist, Winifred Bryce goes to live in New York's Greenwich Village after her father, a college professor, her fiancé, best-selling author Richard Haldane, and a publisher all reject her manuscript on Bohemian life because it does not seem realistic. In the Village, Winifred is befriended by futurist poetess Cleo Merrill and fourth-rate actor De Lancy Danforth who continually borrow her money. After Winifred elopes with De Lancy, who is scheming with Cleo to get her money, she discovers that Cleo has drawn all of her money from her bank account with the blank rent check Winifred left. During a quarrel with De Lancy, Cleo falls on his knife and dies. Winifred, whose forged check is found, is accused of murder and given the third degree. After Richard makes De Lancy confess, Winifred awakens to discover she has been dreaming. She marries Richard and her novel A Girl in Bohemia becomes a success.
