Plot: Betty, of the chorus, on her way to rehearsal, stops to rescue a bird from the clutches of a boy with a bean-shooter. Jim Derwent, son of the theater owner, is passing in his car and sees the girl boxing the boy's ears, while her aunt looks about for a policeman, and he stops to see what is the matter. He recognizes Betty, and after explanations, Jim drives them to her home, where the bird is cared for. On her arrival at the theater the stage manner gives the girl a "bawling-out," then fires her, but Jim gets his dad to countermand the manager's decree. Next day Jim calls, more to see Betty than the bird, and a charming romance is soon underway. The leading lady at the theater has a "night out," reports sick, and Betty has a chance to take her place. She makes good, and the former leading lady is deposed. But Betty soon has the opportunity to become Jim's own leading lady, and when he promises to love her pets and herself, too, she becomes his bride.
