Plot

Janie "Dutchess" Barlow is a poor, hard-working dancer in a Manhattan burlesque theater who is spotted by a high-society scion, Tod Newton, who falls in love with her. The theater is raided by the police, and Janie is arrested, and Tod pays her bail. However, she resists his gestures and promises to pay him back. Tod then helps her land an audition for a Broadway show. The director, Patch Gallagher, does not like Janie, but she perseveres and wins his begruding admiration. Eventually, she becomes the star of the show. Tod, who wants Janie to himself, buys the show so that he can close it. Janie and Patch, meanwhile, have fallen in love. They scrape together their savings and produce a show, which becomes a hit. The Borough of Manhattan, highlighted in yellow, lies between the East River and the Hudson River. ...
