When their employer's son Michael Alderson, who was raised with Sadie and is now a successful lawyer, returns from New York City after two years, his family throws a dinner party for family and friends. While serving soup, Sadie overhears Michael's comments about her boyfriend Tommy Wallace, who was fire from the Alderson factory and accused of being a dishonest person; Sadie tells Michael and his friends that they're being insensitive. She decides to flee to New York City with Tommy to get married and find a job. They befriend Opal and she takes them to the low-budget boardinghouse where she lives. The next morning, Sadie leaves the boardinghouse to seek a job and marry her beloved Tommy.

She learns that he is millionaire Jack Brennan and his friend is Michael Alderson. When Michael patronizes her, telling to leave Jack, she is still angry with Michael and stays with Jack, who proposes to her. She accepts and is seen by the society as a gold-digger.
