In an effort to divert Fane's thoughts from the subject, some friends compel him to accompany them on a slumming trip. The party visits an East Side music hall. The place is nothing more than a dive and Fane takes no interest in what passes until Ida, one of the singers, appears to do her "turn." To the composer's surprise, the girl has a marvelous voice. Fane meets Ida later in the evening. His interest in her dies when he finds the girl uneducated and ignorant. Fane's indifference piques Ida and she watches him when he leaves the place. Her interest in Fane arouses the jealousy of Hagan, the "bouncer." In the quarrel which ensues, the man attempts to strike her. The following day, Ida appears before Fane and begs him to help her. In spite of himself, the girl interests the composer and he takes her in hand. While Fane undertakes her vocal training, Ida supports herself by securing a position in the chorus of a musical comedy company. Hard work wins recognition for the girl. Hagan, meanwhile, has kept track of Ida. He follows her everywhere. Alan Glynn, an artist, and one of Fane's friends, returns from abroad. Glynn falls in love with Ida. The artist is ignorant of the girl's past. As time passes, Fane learns that he is also in love with Ida. Knowing of Glynn's affections for her, he keeps his own love secret. While the artist waits for the girl at the stage entrance one night, he meets Hagan. The latter informs Glynn about Ida's life in the East Side music hall. Shortly afterwards, Ida, in discussing the future, informs her sweetheart of her desire to live in the country after their marriage. Glynn, however, declares that although he will always love her, he can never make her his wife. The man then tells her what he has learned from Hagan. Ida's love for Glynn turns to hate and loathing and she orders him away. Sick at heart, and feeling that the people of the slums cannot be worse than the friends she has made in her upward climb, Ida returns to the slums. Glynn and Hagan follow her. The men meet and a fight ensues. During the struggle, Glynn shoots and kills Hagan. With the murderer's arrest, he passes out of Ida's life forever. A few days later, Fane visits Ida in her old room in the East Side. He tells her of his love and asks her to be his wife. There comes to Ida the realization that it is Fane whom she has loved from the first and she becomes his wife. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
