Synopsis

Rosie Mendelsohn, the daughter of a kindly Jewish tailor in New York's East Side ghetto, ends her romance with struggling author George Howard because of her father's objections to her marriage to a gentile. After George leaves, Rosie attempts to find him by becoming a private secretary to publisher Joseph Rayberg, whom she persuades to publish a contest in which authors would send in endings to part of a manuscript she claims to have found. Rayberg, intent on seducing Rosie, agrees to publish the manuscript (which is a version of George's novel that she had typed earlier, and actually is a humorously idealized story of her own life) only after Rosie agrees to have sex with him when the contest is over. When George, down-and-out, submits the rest of his story, Rayberg locks Rosie in his office, but she escapes into George's arms and they go to her father who relents and blesses their union.

This film was partially shot on Ludlow Street in New York City. Reviews list the leading male character as both "George Howard" and "Charles Howard." Hugo Ballin, who wrote the story, was Goldwyn's art director since the company's formation.
