Synopsis: Laurie is engaged to Hal, but he’s financially “sensible” and doesn’t want to spend money on an engagement ring for her. Laurie, ashamed she has no ring, meets Steve, who is selling one because girlfriend Ruth dumped him. He offers Laurie a deal if she’ll date him to make Ruth jealous; Laurie agrees but Ruth doesn’t care. Laurie buys the ring anyway. Hal is angry that Laurie spent $200 on “nonsense” and says “if I marry you, you’ll throw my money away!” They break up. Steve appears and says he lied about Ruth just to spend time with Laurie. Laurie and Steve have “a wonderful future ahead.”
