As they wait in line, the office building stairway on which they are standing collapses under their combined weight. The movie focuses on several of the girls, e.g., the daughter of a rich family who is in love with a poor artist, a streetwalker trying to get honest employment, a stenographer who has been seduced by her former employer...
