She is advised to seek work in Chicago and arrives in that big city with many misgivings but a stout heart. She secures employment as demonstrating model for a fashionable modiste. Laura Keene and her mother, ambitious social climbers, enter the shop in quest of an opera cloak. Ella displays and sells them an expensive pink garment. They ask her to deliver it at their home and Ella departs with the package. As she is leaving the Keene residence, Ella passes handsome John Foragan, who is calling on the Keenes. As Ella is departing from the house, Laura's young brother accidentally mashes a peach on the new opera cloak, causing a bad stain. He runs from the room to escape the wrath of his mother and sister. Ella is sent for and told that she had ruined the coat in delivering it. She denies this, but is forced to take the cloak back to her employer. The modiste refuses to believe Ella's story, and she is discharged. Young Foragan overhears the incident and, thoroughly disgusted, seeks out Ella and offers her a position as companion to his invalid sister. Later Ella and Foragan are married and the Keenes are placed in an embarrassing position, when they call to meet Foragan's wife for she is wearing the pink opera cloak.
