When a traveling theater troupe stops at the inn, Polly seizes the opportunity to leave with them when they flee without paying their bill. After the attentions of the leading man become too insistent for Polly Ann, she is rescued by Howard Straightlane, a wealthy young man who has been disowned by his father for being too frivolous. Howard and Polly become fast friends when Howard's father discovers that the girl is his long-lost relative and takes her into his home.
