The actress is intrigued by the young country boy and decides to marry him—providing his mother agrees. Mrs. Sabbot goes to Paris with Brenda Kaley, who lives with her, intending to break up the match between her son and the actress. When Vivienne meets Cora, she tries to make a good impression. She tells Cora she will not marry her son without her consent, whereupon Cora frankly states she will never give it. Guy Pennell, handsome English Revue artist, who is Vivienne’s leading man, enters the scene. Guy is madly in love with his star, and when he sizes up the love match, he determines to do what he can to prevent it. Cora faints, and Guy forces her to drink some brandy. Cora asks for more and gets slightly intoxicated. From then on, she loses her puritanical notions. She dresses in the latest Parisian mode, bobs her hair and starts a violent flirtation with Guy, who plays up to her. They scandalize Andrew, and he is heartbroken at the conduct of his mother. One evening, when Cora and Brenda go back stage after the performance, Vivienne decides to find out whether Guy really loves Cora. She has her maid light some smoke pots which causes a panic.
