At a party, George meets and falls in love with Angela Vickers (played by Taylor), a beautiful and wealthy young woman who is visiting her family on vacation. They start dating, and George becomes determined to win her heart and climb the social ladder.
However, his plans are complicated when Alice tells him that she is pregnant with his child. George initially promises to marry her but soon realizes that this would ruin his chances with Angela. He tells Alice that he cannot marry her and gives her some money before sending her away.
