Plot

Lorelei Lee and Dorothy Shaw are American showgirls and best friends, although the two are very different. Lorelei thinks more of a man's financial wealth and likes men who can support her passion for diamonds, such as her fiancé Gus Esmond Jr., who can provide all of her financial needs. Dorothy prefers men who are attractive and fit, and she does not care about their wealth.
