Synopsis
Believing that the lovesick and the unhealthy always welcome mail, Molly Meredith opens a letter-writing business to support herself and her young brother Bobby. One of her first subscribers is millionaire Carl Stanton, who never hears from Cornelia Bartlett, his sweetheart in the South, and so asks Molly to write him letters in her place. Although he has never met her, Carl soon falls in love, through the letters, with the woman he calls Molly Make-Believe. When Cornelia finally does write to Carl, it is so she can break off their engagement. Afterward, Carl manages to meet his letter writer, and when Molly-in-the-flesh matches precisely the image he had constructed of Molly Make-Believe, he marries her immediately.
