Plot
A rich heiress Jessica (Mildred Coles), tired of being romantically pursued for her money, abandons her wealthy environment to find a suitable partner as a working class girl. In her new blue collar lifestyle, she falls in love with Chet (Edward Norris), an ambitious sandblaster attempting to rise up from his working class circumstances.
A series of misunderstandings ensue as Chet begins to suspect Jessica is not the innocent waif she appears to be, mistaking her secret meetings with her father (Russell Hicks) as a romantic relationship with a rich older man. Complications ensue until the misunderstandings eventually clear up, allowing them to reveal their genuine love for each other.
