Plot
Fellow department store shopgirls and roommates Gerry (Crawford), Connie (Page) and Franky (Sebastian) take different paths in the big city, but all seek to marry themselves to wealthy men. Connie has an affair with David (Raymond Hackett), son of the department store owner, and when he dumps her she kills herself. Franky marries Marty (John Miljan) without knowing he's a crook, but Gerry helps her out of this and Franky goes back to her mother's farm. Gerry has resisted Tony (Robert Montgomery), elder son of the store owner, and sadly believes that virtue will be her only reward, but things finally get better with Tony.
Throughout the story, Gerry is the sensible one, while the others throw themselves at amoral rich men in an attempt to hook one and better themselves. They end up being hurt and disappointed despite Gerry's attempts to warn them.
