Diana Medford, a vivacious, wide-eyed young girl devoted to Terpsichore and hip flasks, falls in love with Ben Blaine, the son of a millionaire.

She is soon badly disappointed, however, for Ben marries Ann, a hard-drinking blonde pushed into marriage by an avaricious mother.

Ann falls downstairs and kills herself, however, and Ben, free of his tempestuous bride, turns to Diana for love and consolation.

Notes
Our Dancing Daughters was the first of three films that featured Joan Crawford, Anita Page and Dorothy Sebastian as three young women finding love.
