Sylvia visits Yale for the senior prom and sees that Paul is embarrassed by her small-town manner and dress. His obvious attraction to married society woman Muriel Evers compels Sylvia to release Paul from his promise. She then returns to Indiana while Paul advances to Wall Street. After Sylvia's father dies, she moves to New York City and meets alcoholic actor Henry Leamington, who encourages her to join the theater while she helps him conquer his affliction. Sylvia becomes a successful actress and reunites with Paul, who is unhappily married to Muriel. They still love each other, but after Muriel dies in an automobile accident, Paul realizes that an actress wife would harm his business reputation and suggests that Sylvia become his mistress instead. Now convinced of Paul's true character, Sylvia marries Henry.
