Synopsis
On the night that Shirley Chamberlain's father announces her engagement to Billy Emerson, her childhood sweetheart, Don Calvert, a stranger from the city, is present. Learning that Billy is to spend a year establishing himself before the marriage, Calvert invites him to New York; and following a tearful farewell he sets out. Calvert arranges for Billy to become infatuated with Blanchita D'Acosta, a revue star, then summons Shirley to the city; but when Calvert undertakes a flirtation with Shirley, Blanchita becomes violently jealous. At a nightclub with Calvert, Shirley pretends to be gay and frivolous, shocking Billy and provoking his wrath. Drugged by Calvert, she is taken to his apartment; Billy arrives to find her defying him for stealing her jewels, rescues her, and takes her home.
