Plot

The plotline features Betty as a poor woman who became a singer in a Klondike saloon to avoid starvation, at the behest of her "rat" employer. Her song is lyrically about longing for a man to take her away from trouble, and then a man comes by and feels allured by her song. The play then goes with Betty's employer pinning down the official to a wall and trying to kill him, while escaping to a remote cabin. The park official escapes and chases after them, then captures the employer, and the play ends.
