Synopsis
Ellie Byrne and Don Lane grow up together, friends and neighbors, in the shabby section of a factory town. Don worships Stephanie Parrish, the wealthiest girl in town, while Ellie admires Preston Dutton, the most sought-after young man. Don goes to the city, determined to get an education, make money, and eventually win Stephanie. Ellie becomes a maid to a prominent actress; 5 years later she herself has become famous on the stage. Ellie writes a play about her early life of poverty. Don rewrites the play, which, opening in their hometown, is a great success. Stephanie agrees to marry Don, and Ellie gets engaged to Preston Dutton; but before the weddings Ellie and Don realize how hard they worked for each other.
