In IV, Bambi helps Jarvis rewrite his play, wins a short-story contest, and secretly uses her prize money to finance their trip to New York. She takes charge of their preparations and arrival, while his resistance to selling his work contrasts with her delight in the city's possibilities.
What happens
- Bambi keeps peace between Jarvis and the Professor while becoming an essential partner in rewriting Success.
- During gaps between Jarvis's demands, she writes a story, abandons it, and then submits it to a magazine contest.
- She wins a sum of money and plans a New York trip without telling the men where her money comes from.
- Bambi arranges the manuscript, clothes, and tickets, while Jarvis insists that their expenses count as a loan.
- They reach New York, where Bambi guides an overwhelmed Jarvis to their club and celebrates the city's energy.
