Synopsis

Helen, a pretty country girl, comes to the city in search of a millionaire and meets Nita, a city girl with whom she decides to team up. Helen flirts with Hank, a sailor on shore leave, and when he leaves to get some ice cream, Bill, a marine, makes friends with her. The girls are engaged as window demonstrators in a department store, attracting large crowds, including Hank and Bill, who fight over Helen. On the last night of shore leave, they take the girls to a dancehall, where Harrison Hendricks and a party of millionaire friends try to date the girls, causing a free-for-all. Helen, who has come to care for Bill, agrees to await his return from sea duty, but Hendricks' attentions turn her head in Bill's absence. At a dinner party, Bill unexpectedly returns, and Helen, angered by his attitude, accepts Hendricks' marriage proposal. Nita becomes suspicious and accompanied by Hank and Bill goes to the millionaire's yacht. Meanwhile, Helen decides she does not want to marry a millionaire and agrees to overlook Bill's penchant for fighting.
