Mary (Edith Roberts) got her vision of the ideal man from the fashion ads in magazines. When dapper, traveling salesman Jack (Earle Page)came to town, fit Mary's ideal vision. She neglected Ned (Millard K. Wilson), the hired man who adored her, for Jack and hoped the traveling man would invite her to the hotel dance. When he didn't, she decided to dress up and go anyway. She got one of her mother's old dresses out of the attic and wore it to the dance. Jack, the cad, laughed at her and danced with the more-stylish dressed ladies. She left crying and decided she was through with city people...and went looking for true-blue Jed.
