Overview

David Ross, a young farmer in a small New York town, becomes entranced with worldly radio personality Maida Vincent. Meanwhile, David's great uncle, Henry Ableton, threatens to disinherit David if his granddaughter, Mary Vaughn, is not contacted within six months of his demise. Maida and her friend, Josie Dare, discover the gravely ill Mary in New York City and write to Henry, unaware that he has since died. When Mary's brother, Thomas, arrives in the city to find his sister dead, he persuades Maida to assume her identity and claim the fortune. Maida falls in love with David during her stay in the small town, and upon discovering that he is the alternate heir, she reveals her true identity. David forgives her and they are married.
