Orphan Joanna gets a job at a flower shop. Tony—the 'man of her dreams'—buys roses. Joanna expects them to be for a beautiful woman, but finds they are for his elderly grandmother, who asks Joanna to stay and read to her. Joanna does it regularly and one night sees Tony fight with his girlfriend, who finds Tom's grandmother creepy and is bored with going to a ball. Mrs Howard arranges for Joanna to go to the ball with her grandson. It is a wonderful evening, but Joanna decides that Tom can never find out she is a poor orphan. Tony tracks her to the florist and professes his love.
