The Golden Chance
Summary
A luminous seamstress, threaded into penury by her profligate husband’s liquid sins, is plucked from sweat-shop shadows by a couture matriarch and re-costumed as gilded arm-candy for a platinum-blooded financier; beneath chandeliers she performs a waltz of borrowed silks and bartered identity while her spouse—reeking of gin and resentment—plots a crude shakedown that ends in police bullets and moral absolution, leaving the heroine in matrimonial white at last, the city’s skyline rinsed clean of her past.
Synopsis
Mary Denby becomes a seamstress after her husband Steve wastes their money on booze. Her employer provides her as an escort to accompany millionaire Roger Manning. Her husband tries blackmailing Manning and is later killed by the police, leaving Mary free to wed the millionaire.
