Men pay a dime to dance with Barbara and her fellow taxi dancers. She marries Eddie and quits dancing, but before that, she meets handsome, wealthy Bradley. Barbara eventually starts dancing again, since her marriage is plagued by financial tension, and Bradley begins to visit her again. Eddie becomes jealous, accusing his wife of infidelity, and sees that alleged infidelity as an excuse to steal money from Bradley.—Ulf Kjell Gür
Taxi dancer Barbara O'Neill (Barbara Stanwyck) at the emporium "Palais de Dance" marries young office clerk Eddie Miller (Monroe Owsley): a failure, a louse, and a thief who steals money from his boss to pay off the heavy gambling debts he has incurred. Barbara borrows $5,000 from wealthy admirer Bradley Carlton (Ricardo Cortez), and she repays Eddie's debts only for her ingrate husband to accuse her of having compromised herself. She realizes just what a loser she has married, so she divorces him and agrees to become the wife of generous Mr. Carlton although she's not in love with him.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
