Summary
In the swirling maelstrom of Jazz Age aspirations, a guileless provincial lass, Elsie, arrives in the glittering, unforgiving metropolis of New York City, clutching dreams of Broadway stardom. Her theatrical ambitions, however, are swiftly curtailed by the harsh realities of the chorus line, a mere footnote in the grand tapestry of urban entertainment. Disillusionment soon finds her adrift in the intoxicating orbit of the city's 'fast' set, personified by the dangerously charismatic 'party girl,' Cherry Blow. Elsie's descent into this hedonistic demimonde is marked by lavish, often debauched, soirées, where the predatory gazes of wealthy scions are as ubiquitous as the clinking of champagne glasses. Just as her moral compass begins to waver amidst the siren call of transient pleasures and the relentless pursuit of social advancement, her steadfast beau from back home, Ted, materializes in the city, bearing an earnest proposal of matrimony, thus precipitating a profound crisis of identity and allegiance for the young woman caught between two starkly contrasting worlds.
