Synopsis
Although the plot to this comedy seems forced and unnatural (even for a farce), it does have a stellar cast. Even the smaller roles feature excellent performers -- the cabaret owners, for example, are played by Margaret Livingston and Walter Hiers. Mary Davis (Barbara Bedford) is just one of a million girls who are hungry and out of work in New York City. But she gets a break when cabaret singer Fanchon (Betty Blythe) -- known as the most wild and wicked woman in France -- refuses to get up and perform. Mary is enlisted to take her place. Man-about-town Robert Ryan (Lowell Sherman) knows that Mary isn't the real Fanchon, and tries to use this knowledge to force himself on her. Mary, in a desperate attempt to save herself, stabs him. She is accused of his murder, and her sweetheart, Kenneth Ward (Malcolm MacGregor) tries to help her straighten things out. Finally, the real Fanchon turns up and it is revealed that Ryan isn't dead after all. ~ Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide
