Synopsis
John Adams is too busy working his way through college to notice Jane, who fell in love with him almost as soon as he moved into the boardinghouse where she works. Then, Frederick Verstner, a well-known photographer, asks her to pose for him. He rearranges her hair and gives her some nice clothes, and the result is a photograph that wins a newspaper contest to determine the prettiest woman in town. After seeing Jane's picture, John suddenly sees Jane much differently, and quickly decides to devote less time to studying and making money in order to begin a romance with her.
