Mr. Remington, the owner of the apartment enters, and seeing Ruth so interested, explains to her the origin of the various ornamental pieces that decorate the apartment. Downstairs, in her squalid surroundings, she is very unhappy after seeing her world above, and tells her sweetheart that she cannot marry him, that she must marry a man of wealth. The thrilling scenes that follow and her rescue from the man of the world above by her sweetheart, makes Ruth decide that the world in which she is living is better than the artificial life of the Remington's above.
