Tenderloin Synopsis

Rose Shannon, a dancing girl at "Kelly's" in New York City's "Tenderloin" district, worships at a distance Chuck White, a younger member of the gang that uses the place as their hangout. Chuck's interest in her is only just as another plaything. Rose is unknowingly placed in a position in which she is implicated in a crime about which she knows nothing. The police pick her up, and the gang sends Chuck to take care of her in the event that she might know or disclose something that will implicate the gang.

The Undesirable Synopsis

Betty (Lili Berky, Duel For Nothing), a young woman living in the country, is told by her dying father that he is really her uncle and raised her as his own when her mother was sent to prison for killing her husband. Alone and not knowing her mother's fate, Betty travels to the city in search of work. There she finds employment as a maid in the house of a wealthy couple and their dashing son, Nick (Victor Varconi, For Whom The Bell Tolls), with whom she falls in love. When Betty is fired from her position after being unjustly accused of theft and escorted from the village, an ironic twist of fate propels the story forward with the sudden appearance of her mother Sarah (Mari Jászai, Bánk Bán) - presumed dead but recently released from prison - on a quest of her own to find her daughter.
