Alabam Lee (Carole Lombard) is a fan dancer whose show is considered too racy, causing her to be convicted of a morals code charge. Alabam's publicist, in order to improve her image, comes up with the plan of adopting a woman to portray her mother, and Alabam chooses Patsy (May Robson), a vociferous drunk with a shady past. Patsy's lawyer, Johnny (Roger Pryor), meets Alabam and falls in love, but the judge who charged Alabam thinks that she is angling Johnny for his money, causing a strain in their relationship.
