The Chorus Lady Synopsis

Patricia O'Brien, a chorus girl, plans to marry Dan Mallory, but a fire in Dan's stables blinds his prize filly, Lady Belle, and forces him to postpone the wedding. Pat returns to New York with her sister, Nora, and the girls find work in the Follies. In spite of Lady Belle's blindness, Dan enters her in a race, and she wins $20,000. When he arrives in New York to give Patricia the good news, he discovers that she has gone to the apartment of Dick Crawford, a notorious gambler and philanderer. Dan goes to find Patricia and, through a misunderstanding, believes that she is having an affair with Crawford. Dan and Patricia are reconciled, however, when he discovers that she went to Crawford's apartment only to look for Nora, who had become involved with the gambler. Dan and Patricia are soon married.

The Co-respondent Synopsis

Ann Gray annoys her narrow-minded New England aunt by writing stories on an old typewriter her father left her, and selling them to the "New York Ledger." Longing for attractions available only outside her small town, Ann elopes with visiting dissolute multi-millionaire Howard Van Kreel, who identifies himself as Robert Gordon, but she leaves when detectives from his wife interrupt their mock marriage ceremony. In New York, Ann distinguishes herself as a reporter for the "Ledger" and falls in love with managing editor Richard Manning. After the paper publishes a rumor about the Van Kreels' approaching divorce suit involving an unnamed co-respondent, Van Kreel threatens to sue for libel and ruin Manning's career unless the co-respondent is named. Manning sends Ann to investigate, and she discovers that she is the co-respondent. After some deliberation, Ann tells Manning the truth. Although he does not want to print the story, Ann, who reminds him of his record of publishing the truth, writes it. After Manning thrashes Van Kreel and makes him apologize to Ann, Manning has his assistant prepare an announcement of his upcoming marriage to Ann.
