Three months slip by and Flora, who has met with many hardships as well as pleasures, has slowly become accustomed to the life. The show arrives at a college town where catastrophe awaits them. During the first performance a crowd of Freshmen cause such a disturbance that the curtain it rung down and the meager audience leaves, expostulating with the boys and also blaming the company. It is with due credit to the Freshmen that one of them may be said to have not sanctioned the boys' conduct after his eyes have fallen on the pretty Flora. Flora has an admirer in the company who, when he sees young Curtis, makes a bluff to start something, but the two are separated by the girl. Curtis has observed that the company is without funds. At the railway station he finds the company and Todden, their manager, and puts the proposition that inasmuch as the boys regret their actions at the first performance and would like to do something to help them out, they have proposed to lend their glee club if the company will remain another night. He accepts, dispatching a little note to the theater manager telling him the news. A little extra advertising and that night finds the house overflowing. The boys do their stunt and are roundly applauded. After the curtain has descended, Curtis seeks out the company's manager and then Flora. The girl expresses her thanks in a grateful handclasp and with shining eyes which hold for him something more than all the words she could utter. Flora decides to go home and tells Curtis so. Curtis volunteers to see her to her train and when she is not looking, purchases a ticket to Flora's town. Unbeknown to the girl, he follows her to her home, where, to her great surprise, he makes his appearance, confesses his love and wins the consent of mother and daughter.
