Plot

Bored with her privileged life, socialite Mary Houston seeks thrills in the seedy world of the Sphinx Night Club. On a whim, she becomes a captivating cabaret dancer, unwittingly drawing the eye of the club's shady owner, Pop Hanson, and his charming accomplice, Harry. Pop concocts a daring scheme to swindle a Montana millionaire, enlisting Harry to pose as the man's long-lost brother. She joins his elaborate ruse, posing as his wife and using her aunt's mansion as their base. Torn between her attraction to Harry and her growing unease with the con, Mary hatches a counter-plan. Instead of risking Harry's reputation, she asks her old friend George, secretly harboring a jealous flame for Mary, to play the millionaire. Their scheme unravels in a dramatic twist fueled by George's consuming envy. He exposes the plot to the authorities, leading to chaos and arrests. In the fallout, the truth dawns - Harry is not a conman, but a playwright seeking inspiration for his next masterpiece.
