She has lived straight, but at last decides that it does not pay. She is pursued by Mr. Lany, a wealthy hunter of the stage door, and at last decides to accept his money and attentions, which he has been offering her for some time. Nan is notified by fellow chorus member Marie that Lany is waiting for her in the wings. She prepares to play her part of the game. Lany has a wife, a true and devoted woman, who has stuck with him through thick and thin, but who has been unable to keep pace with his progress in the social world. In a last attempt to rescue her husband from the wiles of the showgirl, Mrs. Lany calls upon Nan De Vere to release her husband. Nan is at first contemptuous, but when Mrs. Lany tells her tearful story of her husband's and her own terrible struggle up from poverty, of his lucky mining strike and succeeding affluence, and finally his growing indifference and coldness for the wife who has enabled him to reach his present position. Nan's heart is touched and she resolves to give the unthinking husband a lesson. She hides Mrs. Lany behind a curtain and sends word to Mr. Lany that she will see him. Lany enters and takes her in his arms, when by a previously arranged plan with Joe, one of the men of the theater, hears Nan's screams. Joe comes in flourishing a revolver and claims her husband. Lany concludes he is the victim of a "badger game" and the woman he married is the only true-hearted woman in the world. He leaves the dressing room willingly.
