Summary
Betty, a twenty‑year‑old orphaned heiress raised in the sprawling ranches of Texas, lives under the watchful eyes of her austere aunt and uncle. Though her inheritance promises a life of genteel propriety, her heart beats to the rhythm of rebellion, especially after she encounters Bert, a dashing flyer from Waco whose swagger and charm eclipse the staid expectations of Southern aristocracy. Their clandestine romance blossoms in the amber twilight of the open range, culminating in a daring plan to elope. Yet the uncle’s iron‑fisted authority thwarts their escape, consigning Betty to a forced pilgrimage to New York City on the day she turns twenty, under the pretense of being "properly introduced to society." In the bustling metropolis, fate twists again: Bert resurfaces, masquerading as the aunt’s chauffeur, a ruse that allows him to linger in Betty’s orbit. The night they are reunited, a priceless pearl necklace—a family heirloom bestowed upon Betty—vanishes without a trace, igniting a frantic pursuit. Determined to exonerate themselves and to prove his worth, Betty and Bert embark on a nocturnal hunt through the city's shadowed alleys, confronting thieves, confronting social prejudice, and ultimately demonstrating that love, ingenuity, and courage can transcend class and circumstance.
