Betty Lou and her friends at Waltham Department
Store, after discussing Elinor Glyn's story, "IT," decide that their
boss, Cyrus Waltham, has IT. That evening Betty encounters Waltham and his
friend, Monty. Monty asks her to dinner, and she chooses the Ritz. He
tries to direct her to a secluded table, but she insists on fascinating Cyrus
and accomplishes her purpose.
When the authorities threaten to take away Molly's
baby, Betty claims the child as hers and proves that she can support it.
Misunderstanding, Monty tells Waltham of Betty's deceitfulness and, as a result,
Cyrus snubs her. Betty appears unexpectedly at Cyrus' yachting party and
laughs in his face when he proposes to her. The yacht collides with
another boat, and Adela, Cyrus' society fiancée, is thrown overboard.
Betty swims to rescue her; Cyrus follows and they make up their differences.
