Summary:
Jerry Strong is the wealthy son of stuffy but permissive parents who allow Jerry to follow his ambition to be a painter. When he hires party girl Kay Arnold to be a model for one of his paintings, the two fall in love despite their obvious differences. But eventually, class distinctions push Kay away -- back toward her old life, one just shy of prostitution.--Container.
