Cora, a pampered heiress, abandons her comfortable life for the thrill of finding work and living independently. She crosses paths with Dick, an out‑of‑a‑job drifter with nothing but a dime to his name.

Their impulsive love culminates in a hasty marriage, much to the dismay of Cora’s disapproving father.
