The story of Belle Poitrine’s ascent from the wrong side of the railroad tracks in Venezuela, Illinois to the exquisite luxury of Southampton, Long Island. Early in the story Belle meets high-born Noble Eggleston. He cannot marry her because she does not have 'wealth, culture and social position.' She achieves these goals through her association with seven men, some of whom help her progress by being taken dead at opportune moments.
