In New York City, flapper Pink Watson works as atelephone operator at a cement factory and dreams of marrying rich.

During her first day, she befriends Ermintrude De Vere, and is invited to accompany her on a date with a young millionaire named Mr. Vandergriff, who is later revealed as a scheming chauffeur at Long Island.

While gold digger Ermintrude is flattered by his attention, Pink reacts appalled at the age difference and almost walks home, until a friend in the cement factory's truck picks her up.

Feeling guilty, Pink takes care of him and falls in love, even though realizing that she will be a poor girl her entire life when she marries a valet.

The following morning, Tabor, now dressed as a millionaire, asks Pink to marry him, and she (thinking he has moved up in status to a department store floorwalker) enthusiastically accepts.

Meanwhile, the shop's owner finds a photo in the newspaper featuring 'Tabor' (Hank) and Ermintrude as newlyweds, and thinks that the real Tabor is an impostor.

At court, Hank initially lies about the identity switch because he is afraid of losing Ermintrude, but admits to the truth after her departure.
