Stratton, Martin's broker, although Martin is unaware of his scheming. Katherine is unsuccessfully trying to gain an income by writing magazine stories; but Comfort Brown, who works in her boardinghouse, seeks a magazine editor to plead Katherine's case and encounters Martin, a friend of the editor, whom she likens to a prince she has read about in fairy tales. Under the name of Prince, Martin takes up residence in the boardinghouse, posing as assistant editor of the magazine; when he falls in love with Katherine, he buys out the magazine to publish her stories. Katherine is happy until Stratton reveals Martin's true identity and makes Katherine believe he ruined her father, but Stratton is eventually exposed and the lovers are reunited.
