Plot

After some witty observations on the glamour of the Broadway scene the film tells the story of "The Girl" and "The Boy", she a chorus line girl and he a writer. They are both struggling to make it big and have trouble paying their rent in a boarding house run by a stern landlady with a simian toughguy bailiff character. The Girl is fired and The Boy tries to get to the Musical Director to pitch his play. After rejection and numerous antics, The Boy wins big in gaming and ends up with The Girl.
