Lizzie's voice is the pride of the village. The banker of the village gives a party and Lizzie performs for the guests. The banker is so enthused with Lizzie's possibilities that he sends her to the city to develop her voice. Jed, Lizzie's lover, is heartbroken at the thought of her going to the city. Lizzie lands in the city but is discouraged by a vocal teacher. Finally she lands a place in the chorus of a musical comedy company. Jed, back in the country, becomes anxious about her and goes to the city. He secures a room in the same boarding house where Lizzie is stopping. He finds a ticket to a seat in a box at the theater where Lizzie is engaged. He attends the show that evening and is surprised to see her on the stage. He goes around to the stage door and breaks his way into the theater. He rushes out upon the stage and he and Lizzie embrace. Jed and Lizzie are kicked out. Jed returns to his room, disheartened, and Lizzie returns to her room. Basement Jimmy, a crook with a reward of $500 upon his head, breaks into Lizzie's room and conceals himself in a trunk. Jed, across the hall, recognizes Lizzie's voice and rushes across the hall. Lizzie tells him about the crook in the trunk. Officers come up to the house and Jed points out the trunk, which contains the thief and claims the reward. He pleads with Lizzie to go back to the country town with him. Lizzie's two chorus girl friends return home and Jed is attracted to them. Lizzie sees how things are turning out and so she announces that they will go back home.
