She also invites the scenario writer Vincent Leach (Howard Lindsay), who is in love with Angela; her brother, Bill Holloway and a rich young man she has met at a party, Schuyler Van Dyck. She manages to irritate Mr. Forbes by encouraging Angela and Vincent to elope and by having Schuyler offer to support Gordon in a venture in opposition to Mr. Forbes. But Blair Patterson arrives, announcing that Schuyler is actually simply a harmless madman who thinks he is rich.
