After a particularly frosty reception at a small town, they decide to paper the town. Leaving a playbill at every house. In this way Happy-Go-Lucky meets Mrs. Vanrennan, a wealthy widow, who is very lonely, her only child, Jim, being away at college. She becomes greatly attached to Happy and induces her to leave the stage and become her companion. Jim, while in college, has seen Happy during one of her tours and fallen in love with her. Home on his vacation he again meets the girl, tells her of his love and asks her to marry him. His mother witnesses the scene and maternal jealousy causes her to think Happy is scheming to fascinate and marry her son. She steps into the room, scornfully reproaches Happy, who deciding she can live no longer, quietly packs up and leaves the house. Mrs. Vanrennan learns that she had refused Jim and with a change of feeling towards the girl, prepares to make amends for her nasty words, but finds Happy gone. Jim starts out in search of her and at last finds a clue. In the waiting room of a theatrical manager's office he is told Happy is inside talking to the manager. The manager offers Happy a contract to sign and as she leans over to do so, seizes her in his arms and tries to kiss her. She struggles desperately and screams. Jim hears her, bursts in the door and chokes the manager into submission. On their arrival home, Jim goes in to see his mother alone and finds her heartbroken over Happy's absence, Jim then smilingly ushers in the girl and there is a joyful reunion.
