Plot

As described in a film magazine, Enid Gregory works in a music store. She is a regular "jazz baby" who flirts with others while keeping company with Bill Butler, a plumber. She finds Janet Fenwick, a young society woman whose father committed suicide under a cloud of disgrace, so Enid gets her employer Bruce Tilford to hire Janet to sing the ballads that she plays. Business picks up and Tilford gives the two women two days of vacation. Enid and Janet go to a fashionable hotel where they meet several of Janet's former friends. Janet becomes engaged to an old sweetheart and Enid succumbs to the embrace of Kent Lloyd, a wealthy young man, and allows him to slip a ring on her finger. In the last reel, they cope with the effects of a fire.
