As described in a film magazine review, the daughter of a maker of beauty cream enters and wins a beauty contest in her hometown and then enters the national contest in an effort to save her father from falling into the power of a rival manufacturer, to whose son she is engaged to be married. Through breaking her engagement, discovering her father's rival in a bribery deal, forming an attachment for the rival's former exploitation man, and making friends with the winner of the national contest, the girl succeeds in so shaping events that she and her father win on all points.
