Plot summary
Janie Barlow performs a striptease in a burlesque show, and a charge of indecent exposure lands her in jail. Tod Newton, a wealthy socialite who noticed her from the audience while out with his own circle, posts her bail and uses his money to land her a role in a Broadway musical. Patch Gallagher runs the production and takes her on only after he sees her dance, though he figures she leans on charm rather than talent. Tod is drawn to Janie and expects something back for his help. The Stooges assist Steve, Patch's assistant, in managing the show girls. Janie regards Patch as the greatest.
