As described in a film magazine review,[5] playwright Paul Remsen and his wife Rhoda separate. Rhoda takes their daughter Peggy with her to live in the country, where Peggy has a pet rooster named Alexander. Peggy makes her way to New York City in search of her father. He has become entangled with a vamp actress Inez Lamont, who is in a new play he has written. The child wanders first backstage and then onto the stage on the opening night of the production. Through her a reconciliation occurs between the parents.
