Synopsis
Stagestruck, Georgianna Lane leaves her country home for the bright lights of the city. Once there, however, she fails miserably and contemplates suicide. Meanwhile Hope Van Alen, the wife of wealthy Anthony Van Alen, is suffering from drug addiction and decides to enter Dr. Pope's sanitarium for a cure. Coincidence brings the couple into contact with Georgianna, who bears a striking resemblance to Hope. In order to deceive their friends in Hope's absence, the Van Alen's enlist Georgianna's acting abilities in impersonating Hope. The switch is made and Georgianna performs so well that Anthony's nephew Gerald Fownes finds himself falling in love with her. Gerald is bewildered when suddenly the real Hope returns cured. Explanations are made and Gerald joins Georgianna, who has contentedly returned to her country home.
