Synopsis

Sadie Sullivan leaves Ireland to live with her married sister in New York. Upset at her worthless brother-in-law and her low paying five-and-ten-cent store job, Sadie, who has just read a story about a chorus girl who married a millionaire, joins a musical comedy company. Having befriended Reverend John Page, a mission clergyman, Sadie, surprised at the other girl's loose morals, is seen reading a Bible backstage. Her "saintly" reputation among the others inspires press agent Jack Mills, looking for a new angle, to devise a routine built around Sadie, now billed as "The Saintly Show Girl." After millionaire Dick Carrington switches his attentions from leading lady Dollie Delmar to Sadie, their subsequent engagement arouses Dollie to attempt to tarnish Sadie's image. Dollie sends Sadie a letter, supposedly from a friend, to meet her at a roadhouse that Dollie knows will be raided, but after Reverend Page explains Sadie's presence there satisfactorily to the police and Dick, Dick marries her.
