Rhoda and the child move to a farm town, while Paul remains in the big city to write a play for actress Inez Lamont, who is in love with him. Peggy knows that her mother still loves Paul, so she flees to the big city to explain the situation to her father. When Rhoda learns Peggy's whereabouts she comes to the city and views Paul's play, which is interrupted by a series of antics by Peggy's lunatic rooster. Inez, furious, stomps out after the performance and leaves Paul and Rhoda to reunite. Written by Pamela Short See less
