Jerry, a model, Connie, a perfume salesclerk, and Francine, in linen sales, all work in a metropolitan department store. They also occupy the same dingy living quarters and have the same desire to replace them with luxury. Francine's opportunity comes in the person of Martin, a wealthy young man who frequents her department; Connie gets an apartment through David Jardine, son of the store owner; and Jerry reluctantly accepts the attentions of Tony, David's older brother, but when he fails to mention matrimony after taking her to his bachelor retreat, she drops him. Later, Martin is arrested as a thief and Francine is taken into custody with him, while Jerry learns that David plans to marry Evelyn, a society girl. On the eve of his wedding, Connie takes poison, though Jerry goes to the reception and brings back David, who sees her die happy. ... Jerry is rewarded, however, with a promise of marriage from Tony.
