Rich But Honest

In the bustling gears of a 1920s department store, Florine and Maybelle are more than just cogs; they are dreamers waiting for the music to start. When they escape the retail grind for a local dance hall, Florine’s lightning-fast Charleston steps don't just win a trophy—they catch the eye of 'Diamond Jim,' a high-society player with the keys to the theater world. While Maybelle finds her niche in the chaotic, physical world of stage clowning, Florine’s path to stardom takes a scandalous turn. Cast as a living tableau of Lady Godiva, her ascent is met with the stinging judgment of her traditionalist boyfriend, Bob. The conflict between her ambition and his narrow morality culminates in a violent confrontation where a wealthy idler named Dick must prove that true honor isn't found in a paycheck, but in the defense of a woman's right to define herself.
