Plot

As described in a film magazine,[3] Iris Lee (Minter) has tired of her humdrum country existence and one night steals away from the home of Martha Kane (Schaefer), with whom she had been living, and goes to the city intent on becoming a singer. Slowly rising from a church soloist to a prima donna, her dreams are finally realized. While in the city she meets Jack Andrews (Forrest) and falls in love with him, but when he comes to her one night intoxicated, she sends him away. Grieving over Jack she returns to her home town where, having his manhood returned, he finds her by accident.
