Synopsis
Chorus girl Jill Deverne supports her song-writer husband, Fred, who has a strong bent for alcohol. When he finishes a new song, she consents to show it to racketeer Joe Prividi, the producer of her musical show, but Fred objects to favors from him; nevertheless Prividi, who covets Jill, agrees to use the song. Fred and his partner, Johnny Dolan, arrive drunk at a nightclub appointment; and in a raid, the police discover Fred with Ruthie, a chorus girl. Disgusted and angered by Fred's behavior, Jill becomes Prividi's girl. Later, at a private party, Prividi shoots a drunken gambler who tries to force himself on her; and when she goes to him at the jail, Jill finds Fred down and out and plans for a new future. Prividi hires gunmen to shoot Fred upon his release, but Prividi is taken prisoner aboard a train, and Jill and Fred begin life anew.
