The Manicure Girl Synopsis

Manicurist in the beauty shop of a large metropolitan hotel, Maria Maretti is engaged to Antonio Luca, an electrician who operates a small radio repair business. At the hotel, Maria meets James Morgan, a wealthy guest who, when Maria will not go out with him, sends her ten dollars for theater tickets. Over Antonio's objections, Maria does not return the money; instead she and Antonio go to a play. After the performance, Antonio is too miserly to hire a taxi; and while he is chasing his hat down a windy street, Maria accepts a ride with Morgan. Later, she and Antonio fight, and she goes to Morgan for solace, belatedly discovering that he is married. Maria reunites Morgan with his wife, then gladly returns to the repentant Antonio.
