- Emmy Morgan lives with her parents and sister in humble circumstances far from the big city. Emmy's only goal is to marry well in order to attain all the luxuries in life. Her sister, on the other hand, is content with her humble surroundings and modest marriage. After her father dies, Emmy persuades the family to use the insurance money to move to the city. There she meets Chanler, an author, and wins his affection. When the writer goes to Virginia for a rest after finishing his book, however, Emmy stays behind and marries an elderly rich man. She gains her dreams of luxury, but realizes that money cannot compensate for love. After her husband's death, Chanler returns, but having discovered Emmy's shallow values and disloyalty, he rejects her.

- When Joyce Kingston, who has been living in the Kentucky hills with her Uncle Ed, is summoned to her father's city home, she learns that her high toned family believes that her years of country living have rendered her a hick, and so, not wanting to disappoint them she decides to play the role of a country bumpkin. Although finely educated and a stickler on etiquette in her uncle's home, Joyce pretends to be illiterate and offends everyone with her crudeness. Joyce's antics alienate her father's fortune-hunting fiancé Genevieve, who thinks that Joyce is a barbarian. Believing that Kingston is about to lose his wealth, Genevieve breaks her engagement, and Joyce's happiness is made complete when her sweetheart sees through her bumpkin act and proposes marriage.
