Ginger King, a small town girl attending an Eastern boarding school, dreams of a more glamorous life. Dissatisfied with her military school boyfriend, Bill Forbes, she meets the older, intriguing Richard Channing and accompanies him to the country club dance. More bold after that adventure, Ginger, while on her way home for a holiday, meets two crooks who entrust some stolen jewels to her for safekeeping. Ginger then puts the jewels on and appears in her home town dressed as a vamp. Once the crooks reappear, however, she realizes the seriousness of the situation and gives up her pretensions to return to Bill.
