Synopsis

Actress Elaine Elton has two ardent suitors: Oscar Billings, the head of several large theaters, and millionaire Jack Dexter, whom she has never met. To force her to spend time with him, Jack pretends to be a chauffeur and gets a job with Elaine, who soon feels quite attracted to him. Then, Oscar combines a marriage proposal with a threat, and tells Elaine that she will never work again if she refuses to become his wife. Elaine gives in and marries Oscar, but then murders him because of his numerous affairs, after which she herself dies while trying to escape from the police. Elaine then wakes up, and after realizing that her marriage and the events that followed it were a bad dream, decides that the nightmare may have foretold the future. As a result, she ignores Oscar's threat to her career, and marries her millionaire chauffeur.
