While
Mame Walsh is away on vacation, her younger sister, Janie, begins a
flirtation with Mame's sweetheart, Bill Billingsley, who clerks in the same
department store where they work. Mame stages a surprise party for
Bill, at which she plans to accept his proposal, until she sees Janie
secretly kissing him and announces she will adopt Janie's philosophy of
"love 'em and leave 'em." She begins an obvious flirtation with Lem
Woodruff, a petty crook and gambler.
Janie, meanwhile, having dissipated the funds of the
department store's welfare club in racetrack betting, tries to recover her
losses with Lem's help. Miss Streeter, the club president, threatens
to prosecute, and Janie places the blame on Mame. The store masquerade
finds Janie dancing with doubt-torn Bill and flirting with manager McGonigle,
thereby winning promotions for all. Mame, retrieving the club funds
from Lem, is reunited with Bill. |
