A woman pursues a man named Dan across the city by taxi and train, her nerves frayed by his indifference. When she finally catches up to him at a station, she discovers he is a photographer who has been hired by Mr. Farrell, a talent agent, to photograph her for a comedy film role. Realizing Dan's coolness stemmed from his professional distance, the woman and Dan are paired as a romantic team for the picture, and they ultimately fall in love both on and off screen, with the story ending as they declare themselves "Mr. and Mrs. Romance." The narrative interweaves scenes of their professional collaboration with their growing personal affection, culminating in their commitment to each other.
