She is a pretty southern girl, beloved by Willis Howe, a young, southern planter, but Peggy has been attracted by the glamour of the stage and will try her fortune in the city. She meets Maysie Twinkle, a flashy, overdressed, but good-hearted young soubrette, who becomes Peggy's friend. At Sam Cominsky's vaudeville agency Peggy tries to obtain an engagement. Peggy does her "stunt" to the accompaniment of laughter and jeers from an audience of down-and-out actors. Maysie leads her away and she secures a chance to pose before Roger Gage, a famous artist. Her earnings are meager and she takes a room in an attic, her neighbors being counterfeiters. Peggy becomes their unwitting tool and passes bad bills. The kind artist discovering Peggy's distress, telegraphs to Howe. Peggy is rescued from her misfortunes and she returns home to become Howe's bride and again to be the belle of Primrose Lane.
