She obtains a position in a photographer's establishment. There she meets George Perry, a wealthy young man about town, and he is attracted by the girl. When she leaves that evening, George in his high power car is waiting for her. Waiting for Viviana becomes a daily affair with George, and at length he succeeds in inducing the girl to accompany him to a café, instructing her to tell her mother that she must work that evening. Meanwhile George's sister, Adele, is flattered by the attention of Harry Fowler, a matinee idol. The two become constant companions. Drink and carousing cause Fowler's discharge. Reaching his bachelor apartment, he finds a note from Adele, in which the girl agrees to his suggestion that they elope. Perry receives a call from an old college chum, who is interested in uplift work. Personal aid of Perry is solicited. Viviana returns one night to the studio for her forgotten purse, and is asked to deliver a delayed package addressed to George Perry. She goes to his apartment, and Perry, delighted, induces the girl to remain for a time. Perry steps across the hall into the room of Fowler, where he finds the note that his Sister has written to the actor. Then he encounters Adele in the hall. Angrily he tells her that Fowler is married, and in reply to Perry's denunciation of him, Fowler taunts Perry about the girl in his own room. Adele has learned her lesson and so has Perry. As his sister leaves, George returns to his apartment, and takes Viviana in his own car to her own home. Perry awakens to a realization of his wasted time and misspent energies. He resolves to devote himself to the big work of human helpfulness. He joins his chum Howarth in his work at a mission, where he helps care for the poor, and among other things holds out a helping hand to a chorus girl, whom Fowler has started in a downward path. At length Perry proves to his own conscience that he is worthy of Viviana's love. He goes to her and asks her to become his wife, and in a burst of happy tears she gives her promise.
