Plot

Mae Knight and Sadie Appleby, chorus line dancers in a New York City burlesque show, are visited by a former showgirl acquaintance who received a rich settlement for breach of promise from a married man she met in Havana. Sadie decides they will follow her example. Pretending that Mae's mother in Kansas is sick, they get Herman Brody to promise to lend them $1500. Herman does not have the money himself, but convinces his boss, Butch O'Neill, to loan it to him. Unfortunately, Herman loses the money gambling (in Butch's own casino). Insurance salesman Otis needs one more sale to get a $5000 bonus, so he offers Herman $1500 to buy a policy. Herman insures Mae's life, with him as the beneficiary.
