She agrees to marry gangster Bill Reilly (Miley)—whom she believes to be a legitimate businessman—after he promises to pay for an operation for her sister. The lead in the show, Marian Duval (Quimby), is jealous of the attention that Steve Sinclair (Forrest), wealthy backer of the Broadway show, is showing Sally, and she wrongfully accuses Sally of theft.
