Synopsis: Appolonia Lee from Kansas is in New York determined to go on the stage. Down to her last cent and still without a job she listens to the advice of a fellow sufferer, Dot Norton of the chorus. The only thing that can help a girl in New York, Dot argues, is a man's influence. So Appolonia goes in search of a man. She finds one in the person of the titled but unhappily married Le Marquis de Severac and frankly asks his help. Charmed by her innocence, and also the curve of her neck, he agrees to help. He organizes a dinner party and invites a vulgar producer of plays and his large, blonde wife. Appolonia is disillusioned and later saved by Richard Warrington, an hoest young sculptor.
