Suzy Starr and Pat Lewis are actresses in a touring theatre company, but it doesn't give them a glittering lifestyle. They can hardly pay the rent on their shared apartment. Then the theatre company finds a rich new backer, Herbert, a middle-aged widower. Suzy is selfish and takes what she wants. She smartly cottons on to Herbert and soon has a mink coat and a sports car out of him. Then Herbert wants her to marry him, but she's less thrilled - she prefers to make use of him but to have fun with other men behind his back. Suzy needs Pat's help - and Pat is under no illusions about Suzy. And Suzy isn't as clever as she thinks...
