Amy Lindel, who sang in the church choir until she went to the city to make a fortune with her voice, finds that cabaret singing is the best she can do. She charms one man, then is admired by a less-honorable one who plants stolen diamonds on her and has the police break into her boyfriend's house to search Amy. But Amy, distraught with the thought of the threatened arrest and the shame of being turned away from her boardinghouse, has thrown herself into a lake. Her sweetheart saves her, clears her name, and makes her his wife.
