Synopsis
Struggling Greenwich Village artist Henry Calvin dresses up to meet a prospective buyer in a fashionable hotel. Failing to meet him, Henry takes the wrong overcoat and finds in it an invitation to Louise Gordon's coming out party. Hungry and curious, Henry attends and immediately falls in love with Louise. Realizing his poverty would prohibit a romance, Henry is about to leave when he meets a former classmate, William West, who, hoping to prosper by Henry's union with Louise, loans him money and introduces him as the manager of a large shipbuilding concern. At West's instigation, engagement plans proceed, until the night of the engagement announcement, when Henry, ashamed of his dishonesty, sends a letter saying he is an imposter. Later, Louise, now engaged to her father's choice, Herbert Rand, accidentally finds Henry, now a clerk in an antique shop. Henry wins Louise when he says he loved her before he knew she was rich. Reluctantly, Louise's father consents to their marriage.
