A 18-year-old Carrie Meeber went from her home Columbia City to Chicago where her older sister Meeber lived. The later agreed to take Carrie in for lodging payment. In a train, being full of contradictory anticipations, the girl met an attractive travelling salesman Charles Drouet who inspired her by his talks about wonderful city of Chicago. But on her arrival to point of destination the young girl faced an inimical city with indifferent and very busy people. Carrie's first trouble became a way of earnings to pay for her residence in her sister's apartment. Looking for a job Carrie spent all day long without result and nearly despaired of success, when finally managed to get a job in a shoe factory.
Meanwhile, Charles Drouet who wanted to visit Carrie but failed because of her refusal, had a rest in his usual way. He could afford expensive restaurants, but he usually gave preference to his friend Hurtswood's bar where all rich and successful people of Chicago rested. Drouet could be well-connected and Hurtswood's bar was a proper place for good acquaintances.
After several weeks of hard work at the machine, Carrie fell ill because she didn't have enough money to buy warm clothes. As a result, she lost her job. Carrie realized that she has got no chance to stay here and was going to leave Chicago when she met Drouet again. Having knew about her poor situation, Drouet lended her money in order not to offend her. And Carrie felt that they became closer to each other.
