Office worker Betty is a compulsive shopper and always broke as a result. She borrows money from a finance company to go on vacation with co-worker Gloria. At the resort, she meets Don and they arrange to reunite in the city. Betty lies to her boss and gets a pay advance to buy a new dress, but her scheme is uncovered and she’s fired. Don proposes marriage but only if Betty changes her spendthrift ways. However, she pawns her engagement ring and Don breaks up with her. Betty exerts self-discipline and repays her debts. Don is impressed with the new Betty and they reconcile.
