Plot
Chorus girl Sally Rand cares for her crippled sister Mary. She agrees to marry gangster Bill Reilly, whom she believes to be a legitimate businessman, after he promises to pay for her sister's operation. The lead in the show, Marian Duval, is jealous of the attention that Steve Sinclair, the wealthy backer of the Broadway show, is showing Sally, and she wrongfully accuses Sally of theft.
