Millie (Helen Twelvetrees) is a naive young woman who marries a wealthy man from New York, Jack Maitland (James Hall). Three years later, unhappy in her marriage due to her husband's continued infidelity, she asks for and receives a divorce. Because of her pride, she does not want his money, however, she also does not want to remove her daughter from a comfortable lifestyle. She allows Jack and his mother (Charlotte Walker), to retain custody of Millie's daughter, Connie (Anita Louise). Focusing on her career, she rises through the hierarchy of the hotel where she is employed, shunning the attention of the rich banker, Jimmy Damier (John Halliday), preferring the attentions of the reporter, Tommy Rock (Robert Ames), although, due to her prior sour relationship, refuses to marry. Eventually, Millie is promoted to the head of operations for the hotel. At the same time, Tommy is offered a lucrative position at the bank by Damier, as a favor to Millie. However, at the celebration party, Millie discovers that Tommy, just like Maitland, is cheating on her. Betrayed a second time, Millie becomes very bitter. With her female cohorts, Helen and Angie (Lilyan Tashman and Joan Blondell, respectively), she becomes a woman who loves a good time, floating from man to man. This goes on for several years, until she hears that Damier has taken an interest in her teen-age daughter, Connie, who bears a striking resemblance to Millie. Millie warns Damier to leave her daughter alone, but, although he promises to stay away from Connie, he ignores Millie's warning, and takes Connie to a remote lodge to seduce her. Millie is tipped off, goes to the lodge with a gun, confronts Jimmy and kills him. In the following murder trial, Millie tries to keep her daughter's name out of the press and claims not to remember why she shot Jimmy. She says that another woman ran out of the lodge after the shot but claims that she didn't see who the woman was and has no idea as to the other woman's identity. The prosecution thus claims that Millie's motive was jealousy of Jimmy's romantic relationship with this unknown other woman. Millie's friends, however, help to bring out the truth, and when the jury finds out that Millie's true motive was to protect her daughter from Jimmy's lascivious intentions, they acquit her. In the end, Millie is reunited with her daughter and her estranged husband's family. 译文(3): 米莉（海伦·Twelvertrees饰）是一个天真的年轻女子，嫁给了一位来自纽约的富人杰克·梅特兰（詹姆斯·霍尔饰）。三年后，由于丈夫的持续不忠，她的婚姻不幸福，她提出离婚并接受了离婚。由于她的骄傲，她不想要他的钱，然而，她也不想让女儿脱离舒适的生活方式。她允许杰克和他的母亲（夏洛特·沃克饰）保留米莉的女儿康妮（安妮塔·路易丝饰）的监护权。专注于自己的职业生涯，她在受雇酒店的等级制度中脱颖而出，避开了富有银行家吉米·达米尔（约翰·哈利迪饰）的关注，而更喜欢记者汤米·洛克（罗伯特·艾姆斯饰）的注意，尽管由于之前的关系不好，她拒绝结婚。最终，米莉被提升为酒店运营主管。与此同时，达米尔向汤米提供了一份银行的高薪职位，作为对米莉的帮助。然而，在庆祝派对上，米莉发现汤米和梅特兰一样在欺骗她。
