...featured player of the season's first hit, while her ears still rang with the jazz jingles she crooned only two years ago in the smoky staleness of a night club. Barbara Stanwyck came that suddenly to the apogee of Broadway nights. At first she sang in a cabaret and imitated stage celebrities.

But the drinking, lovemaking, gambling of the upper crust disgust her tender soul so much- that she returns just in time to cheer her prizefighter on to championship.
