Footloose Widows Synopsis
New York models Flo and Marian entice their employer to give them each a fine wardrobe for a party, then slip off to Florida and install themselves in a luxury hotel, posing as two wealthy widows. While Flo captures the fancy of "The Senator," a solid citizen, she has Marian plot to ensnare a Mr. Smith, supposedly a millionaire, but Marian accidentally meets Jerry, a personable and charming young man (actually Mr. Smith) and falls in love with him. Under pressure from Flo, Marian finally accepts Smith's ardent proposal of marriage, each supposing the other to be wealthy; but Dunn, the girls' employer, arrives and has them arrested. Jerry, disillusioned, pays their hotel bills; Marian returns his gift of $1,000 and declares her love for him. The two are married, and Flo continues her interrupted courtship with "The Senator."

Meanwhile, Homer returns to New York, convinces his employers of the merits of his plan and comes home triumphant, with a proposal for both the new plant and for Rachel's hand in marriage.
