Plot Summary

Ellie Byrne and Don Lane grow up together, friends and neighbors, in the shabby section of a factory town. Don worships Stephanie Parrish, the wealthiest girl in town, while Ellie admires Preston Dutton, the most sought-after young man. Don goes to the city, determined to get an education, make money, and eventually win Stephanie. Ellie becomes a maid to a prominent actress. Five years later she herself has become famous on the stage. Ellie writes a play about her early life of poverty. Don rewrites the play, which, opening in their hometown, is a great success. Stephanie agrees to marry Don, and Ellie gets engaged to Preston Dutton. However, before the weddings Ellie and Don realize how hard they worked for each other. Written by AFI
