The Snob
Overview
At a college dance, Kathryn meets popular football hero, Bill Putnam. However, after discovering he is working his way through school as a waiter, she strikes his name from her dance card in disgust. Bill's wealthy friends decide to teach her a lesson by pretending that they are also waiters. Humiliated, Kathryn flees the party in a rage. After reflecting on her behavior, Kathryn realizes that work and service are virtues. To atone for her previous elitism, she takes a job as a waitress at a restaurant. Bill's friends eventually spot her working and inform him of her change of heart. Bill rushes to her, proposes marriage, and is eventually put in charge of her father's oil interests.
