Here dwells Divorcee (the Heart Pirate), unable to pay her bills. Here also is Remittance Man (a Marriage Pirate), equally unable to meet demands, and the two meet and greet in Peacock Alley, plotting to introduce each other to wealthy Widower and Rich Girl, the end and aim of their existence being pleasure and possession of money to promote their plans. Willful Daughter, who is the Rich Girl, is forbidden by her parents to even read about Peacock Alley, but bored by these restrictions, she steals away there, and likewise there goes the Lonely Widower. There the pirates find their prey and there, in the shadows of the palm room, they plot. Another cheap and flashing figure is Candy Dolly, a salesgirl, who haunts Peacock Alley, waiting for the man with the dinner. There comes also Discontented Wife, who craves finery. They meet Gray Wolf (the man of the dinner) and Fox, who haunts the trail of the Gray Wolf. Having wined and dined some weeks later, Gray Wolf gives Divorcee bogus stock to sell to Widower, and Fox gives some of the same stock to Discontented Wife, promising large dividends. The next rush scene in this eventful history is Willful Daughter marrying the Remittance Man, which precipitates a train of trouble all along the line. All these deceiving and deceived people begin to find each other out. Finally tragedy ends the useless life of the Remittance Man. The Willful Daughter sees the errors of her ways, returns home and is forgiven, while the surviving pirates are fortunately left in prison awaiting trial.
