Summary

Women Go on Forever throws you into a New York City boarding house that's anything but quiet. We follow Daisy, the landlady, as she navigates a tangled web of love and trouble. Her new romance with Jake takes a dark turn just as boarder Betty's fiancé, Eddie, is framed for murder. What follows is a whirlwind of misunderstandings, gangsters, hidden truths, and some truly wild twists that keep the melodrama spinning.

Synopsis

Daisy Bowman runs a boarding house in New York City and becomes romantically involved with new boarder Jake. Among the other boarders are shopgirl Betty and her taxi-driver fiance Eddie. Eddie is framed for murder by a gangster and sent to prison. He keeps the fact of his arrest secret from Betty, who believes he has left her. Jake makes a play for Betty, which makes Daisy jealous. Jake and Daisy quarrel and he is about to strangle her when her young blind son shoots and kills him. Pete, another gangster, gets Betty drunk. He wants to spend the night with her and, when Daisy tries to prevent him, he threatens to tell the police who really killed Jake. Meanwhile, Eddie has been released from jail, and when he returns to find Betty drunk with Pete, he is disgusted. Jake's brother, thinking that Eddie murdered Jake, tries to shoot him, but Daisy tells him that Pete killed his brother. The brother kills Pete, then dies shortly afterward of a wound inflicted by Pete. With her son in the clear, Daisy helps Eddie and Betty reunite.
