A virtuous and innocent young woman uneasily gives in to the lavish attentions of a "sugar daddy" but then finds true love with a newspaperman her own age. But when he disappears on a long assignment, she is unable to support herself in Depression-era New York and returns to her previous arrangement, placing her in a predicament when he returns.
