Synopsis
Gabby had joined a dancing troupe that had gone to France, but is left stranded when the agent goes off with the funds. Pride prevents her from going back to England, so she takes whatever jobs she can find and is fortunate to have Philip come to her rescue on a couple of occasions. Philip is a writer and soon he and Gabby fall in love. Then Gabby gets a dancing job with a touring company and tries to get Philip a backstage job so they can be together. But he is reminded of his previous romance with Lois, who had tried to get him to give up writing after they had been engaged.
Linda had loved Tom since she was twelve years old and he had saved her from a bully. As she blossomed into a beautiful, intelligent young woman, he had fallen in love with her too. Linda has an opportunity to go to college, but she wants to stay and marry Tom. Linda's teacher persuades Tom that if he truly loves Linda, he will put her first and convince her to go to college. Realizing that Miss Pride was right, Tom lies and tells Linda that he has been seeing Sue Peters so she would leave him and go to college.
