Synopsis

Enervated by the nightly round of social activities, Violet La Tour, a popular nightclub entertainer, is refused a New York booking by Maurice Kane, her persistent admirer, and her agent procures work for her in a road show. During a performance in Sagebrush, Texas, she collapses and is taken to the ranch of Lon Dixon, where his mother nurses her. A romance develops, and when Lon proposes to her, Violet accepts, but soon after the ceremony, he agrees to join a party of cowboys in a search for rustlers. Finding his departure unpardonable, Violet impulsively returns to New York and is welcomed with open arms by Kane. She resumes her old society life but resists Kane's attempts at love-making, and when Lon comes to the city to claim her, she gladly confirms her love for him.
