Synopsis

Three women, each living in a separate social sphere, work out their destinies in New York. Annis Grand, who has achieved great success on the stage, meets Ian Fraser as the result of an automobile accident, and when he is overworked and resorts to drugs after their marriage she gives up her career for their mutual happiness. Georgia Wayne, from a small southern town, marries a plodding young lawyer, Lafayette Wayne; then, compromised by wealthy promoter Chester King, she is discarded by both men. Sheila Hopkins, a young newspaperwoman who marries to escape being an old maid, is selfishly concerned only with her career; and lacking sympathy for her sensitive husband, Tony Sheridan, she drives him to drink. Returning to his hometown, he dies, leaving her to realize her loss.
