Summaries

When Jean Crosby, a Broadway chorus girl, visits her sister in Murphysburg and finds that not only has her brother-in-law, Lysander Sprowl, squandered all the money she has sent, but the leading male citizens, all members of the Purity League, who once were friendly to her in New York, will not now give her a second glance. With the help of newspaperman Toby Caswell, however, she anonymously publishes her life story in the town newspaper, thus frightening the men into offering Jean "hush money." Jean refuses their bribery, but before she and Toby leave town they get the gentlemen's promises to end their push for blue laws.—Pamela Short
