Synopsis
Daisy, a sophisticated New York chorus girl with a "guardian," falls in love with Bill, a naive army private from Texas who has gone A. W. O. L. to be with her. They decide to marry, but halfway through the ceremony he is arrested and sent off with his regiment to France. She decides to abandon her former life and takes a minor job in the chorus. While rehearsing, she has a vision of Bill's death, but the dance director brings her back to reality and she goes on with her work.
