by George Abbott and Philip Dunning

Talented dancer Roy Lane is upset that his dance partner, innocent and beautiful Billie, is showing special interest in rich and handsome Steve Crandell, a good customer at Nick's Paradise Club where Roy performs together with Billie and other chorus girls, Mazie, Grace, Ruby, Pearl and Ann. Once attractive Lil Rice plays the piano and is being wooed by Porky, once of Steve's cronies, but neither Porky nor club owner Nick are around when secret bootlegger Steve is visited by fellow mobster 'Scar' Edwards, angry with Steve for homing in on his territory. Steve shoots Scar in the back and together with accomplice Dolph dumps the body pretending that it is a drunk. Billie sees, but Steve swears her to secrecy. Detective Dan McCorn arrives to investigate but despite his suspicions he can get nothing on Steve. There is a fight between Steve and Roy over Billie but despite various ups and downs, Billie predictably ends up in Roy's arms. Unknown to Steve, chorus girl Pearl was Scar's fiancée and finally she confronts Steve and kills him. McCorn turns a blind eye to this and reports the death as suicide. Porky weds Lil and Roy and Billie get an offer for the 'big time'

with John Cecil Holm

Erwin Trowbridge is a modest young writer of greeting card verses living with his loving wife Audrey in Ozone Heights, New Jersey. Unfortunately, meddlesome brother-in-law Clarence is a pain: he built their house and he despises poetic Erwin. As a hobby, Erwin plays the horses - but only on paper. He never actually places a bet but he always wins. One day, after a set-to with Clarence he drowns his sorrows and meets a crowd of gamblers who pick up on his talent. Led by Patsy and his moll Mabel, the gang encourage Erwin to abscond from work while he makes their fortune. The action assumes a farce-like velocity as Erwin is chased by his wife, and his brother-in-law, the betting fraternity and his boss, Mr. Carver. Finally, Erwin breaks his successful run when he has a bet himself, and returns home to Audrey, kicks out Clarence and gets a raise and the respect he deserves from his boss
