Anne Leeds is a school teacher with only four weeks of experience. She takes a part-time job as a secretary to an ex-bootlegger and horse playing gambler by the name of Rocco. He's a Broadway nightclub owner with a heart of gold who eventually falls in love with Anne. However, he knows he's too old for her, so keeps his feelings to himself.
Eventually, Anne finds that she "thinks" she's in love with his younger partner Tony Armotti, a typical playboy type who is afraid to fall in love because it might mean marriage. Tony lives in a walkup apartment above the nightclub, where he often entertains beautiful women. The stairs to the apartment are on the alley behind the club.
Tony eventually fires her with the reason that she doesn't belong in a nightclub, but Rocco rehires her. Anne now tries to be useful and befriends a lot of important customers. LESS
