Bradley and Gwen discover
their old partner in crime, Dolly, working as a telephone operator
in a hotel. Bradley hires a couple of guys to pose as cops and
bring her to his place. |
 |
"Men are that
way," Dolly tells Gwen as they commiserate together over
how bad men are - both faking it for the other's benefit. "Seems
like there's no chance for a poor girl to make an honest living."
Of course Dolly's using this opportunity to steal away the $10,000
they hid from her under the pillow on the bed. |
 |
Dolly is using a trick to "reel
in" a man she thinks is a millionaire.
Steve: "Excuse me, Miss, but did you pay for a telegram
signed 'Steve'?"
Dolly: "Was that your telegram? I thought you had forgotten
it - and I saw it was addressed to a mother."
Steve: "That was mighty sweet of you --- mothers are most
important, aren't they?"
Then Dolly saddens and says, "I never had a mother."
|
 |
Bradley catches up with Dolly
and wants the $10,000 she stole. Dolly looks in her purse and
tells him, "A complete washout. I must have lost it."
Knowing she's working on Steve, he dismisses it and says, "Oh,
we'll forget the small change - now that you've lined up a new
sucker."
|
 |
After they are married, Steve
takes Dolly to his home in Alabama, and she quickly finds out
he is not a millionaire.
Dolly: "So this is the plantation."
Steve: "Oh, no. The plantation is next door. It's Colonel
Winthrop's plantation, but we enjoy looking over the cotton fields."
|
 |
Dolly: "Steve, you should
have married a girl who could help you - not a lady like me."
Steve: "What are you going to do?"
Dolly: "I'm leaving for New York tonight."
|
 |
Dolly realizes she loves
Steve and returns. However, Bradley and Gwen have trailed her
to Steve's home.
Dolly: "What do you think you're going to gain by coming
here, Bradley?"
Bradley: "We're merely trying to find out why a gink with
a million bucks lives in a shanty like this."
|
 |
Just as Dolly has convinced Bradley
and Gwen that Steve is not rich and they are about to leave,
Steve rushes in and shouts that he has sold his cement formula
for $100,000. Dolly tries to get him to shut up, but he's too
excited. |
 |
To save Steve from entering
into a crooked deal with Bradley, Dolly confesses that she's
a crook and wanted by the police, even though it means she will
go to jail. |
 |
All's well that ends well. |
