Returning from abroad, Marjorie Caner ( Mae Marsh ) finds herself very lonely in her millionaire father's big house. She learns that a young poet, Anthony Quintard ( Tom Moore ) is living in poverty next door while working on the libretto of a great opera, so she skips across the roofs and brings him a Christmas banquet. Knowing that he detests wealth, Marjorie pretends to be the secretary of the Caner family. She volunteers to type his libretto, and a close affection grows between them. When Anthony wins a $10,000 prize for his work, he is outraged when he discovers Marjorie is an heiress. Her father, Morris Caner ( George Fawcett ) softened under his daughter's influence, comes to the rescue by feigning financial ruin, and manages to reconcile the two lovers.
