Synopsis
"Swiftie" and Marjory Forbes--the daughters of J. D. Forbes, wealthy owner of a locomotive works, and Mrs. Forbes, a clubwoman who exercises no restraint over them--are attracted to the jazz life and eventually leave home in order to live the lives they please in Greenwich Village. Marjory marries songwriter Lester Hodges, who later deserts her. Swiftie attracts the interest of aviator Roger Corbin, employed by her father, and gambler Stanley Garside. She loses a considerable sum to Garside, then promises to marry him in 60 days when she wagers her losses against marriage. In a Christmas Eve raid by prohibition agents, however, Swiftie escapes with Roger's help and follows Marjory's example by returning home. Both girls repent; Swiftie finds happiness with Roger.
