Factory girl Joan Crawford marries a low life gambler for love, hoping she will change his ways. After a few months, they are still broke and going nowhere, so he suggests she marries wealthy Spencer Tracy who is in love with her. The plan backfires when Joan falls in love with him for real. A predictable rags-to-riches-to-rags story, though Bozarge does milk it for all it's worth and Crawford is at times luminous.
