Her husband, who once was a well-known actor, does his best to discourage her. Marguerite's friends, however, compliment her acting, and she thinks that John is merely making fun of her. She has many hard experiences in getting started, but finally secures booking with an actor who desires a partner. The next day Marguerite goes to the booking agency, meets her partner, and is given a costume to try on. When Marguerite sees the scantiness of the attire she is expected to wear, she almost rebels, but decides to go on with the try-out. Marguerite and her partner set out for the town of Bloomingdale, and she is surprised that they do not rehearse the act. St. John tells her that everything has been arranged and that no rehearsal is necessary. The night of the performance arrives. Marguerite is told to hurry and get into her costume. Her partner, who has a sleight-of-hand act, is arranging his apparatus for the stage. Marguerite is about to back out of appearing before the public in her costume, when the call boy hurriedly tells her they are holding the curtain and the act must go on. She finally comes out, and her partner tells her that she is expected to assist him in his act. She refuses to go on, and St. John is forced to go ahead with his act, assisted by one of the call boys. John, meanwhile, has disguised himself and caught a train for Bloomingdale. He succeeds in getting by the door man and makes himself known to the management. The latter had heard of John, and he is invited to make himself at home behind the scenes. St. John, in a rage because Marguerite has fallen down on the act, follows her to her dressing room and tries to get in. Marguerite has changed to her street costume, and finally admits St. John to her room. Frightened at his appearance, she shrinks against the wall, and he begins to fiercely berate her. She breaks into tears, and putting his arms about her, he attempts to comfort her. John has wandered close to the door. At the touch of St. John's arms about her, Marguerite screams with fright, but he continues to hold her in his arms. John opens the door, jerks St. John aside, and the two fight furiously. St. John is bested and leaves. John then escorts Marguerite to her hotel. She does not recognize him in his disguise and is very grateful for his assistance. John hurries home that night, and upon his arrival is greeted with a telegram from his wife, stating that the part is too strong for her and that she is returning home.
