Jim cajoles True into wanting to experience love, hate and suffering, and convinces her to accompany him to New York. In Greenwich Village, True enjoys Jim's Bohemian friends, all of whom patronize the Pig's Eye cafe: unpublished poet Saracen Jones; struggling artist Russell Storm; and dancer Vavara, with whom, unknown to True, Jim is involved. When the group, who all live in Russell's apartment, are evicted, Jim, who is really an agitator for mercenary reasons, conducts a sidewalk auction of Russell's paintings, which turns into a brawl due to Jim's inflammatory criticisms of society. True slaps wealthy dilettante Michael Harrison after he facetiously offers to buy a painting just to destroy it, and she is sentenced to ten days in jail, as is Jim. Later, Michael apologizes to True and, after calling her friends phonies, invites her to meet successful artists and writers. When True argues that her friends have not had the opportunities that Michael's friends have had, Michael proposes a deal: he will pay the expenses of her friends for six months, and if even one makes good or shows gratitude, he will buy True a drink; however, if they all fail, she will have an obligation to him. True agrees and writes a novel entitled I Believed in You . The others, however, squander their money. When they demand more, True explodes and calls them fakers. Still believing in Jim, she then overhears him tell another woman the same things he once told her. She walks disillusioned throughout the city and onto a bridge, but after hearing voices from the past, she gains new confidence and visits the publishers Lang and Long, who sign her to a contract. True then gives Michael her royalty check as her first repayment. When he proposes, she says that she must go on alone for now, and that maybe they will meet in the future. See less
