Rose Hobart plays Babe Laval, a rough-around-the-edges hostess who entertains businessmen from out of town during local conventions. Constantly fending off lecherous men, the tough woman still hopes to find true love someday.

But after a bad encounter with a wealthy soap tycoon (Rawlinsno), she decides that Bill is not so bad after all, and asks for his forgiveness. FIlmed on location in Atlantic City.
