As described in a film magazine review,[4] Mary, a waitress, is sublimely happy in her love for sailor Steve, a jolly young star who surprises even himself when he marries the young Mary.

There she meets Cassie who, on her deathbed, explains that she used false dimes for her wager with Steve and never sailed with him.
