"Love at a Price" follows Betsy Dean, an aspiring actress at a masquerade who catches the attention of Kip, a wealthy man seeking an ideal girl without theatrical ambitions. As their romance develops, Betsy learns that Kip's mother married Betsy's father for the Kingsbury money and abandoned him when town life proved insufficiently exciting, leaving Betsy determined not to repeat her mother's mistakes. When Kip reveals his distrust of ambitious, attention-seeking women, Betsy decides to hide her theatrical aspirations and pursues a simpler life instead. The story concludes with Betsy working at a travel agency, having resolved to focus on love rather than her career ambitions, though she remains conflicted about suppressing her true self.
