Synopsis: Mary Blake arrives at Blackie Norton's Paradise gambling hall and beer garden looking for work as a singer. He embarrasses her by asking to see her legs, but he hires her. She faints from hunger. Nob Hill Socialite Jack Burley and Maestro Baldini of the Tivoli Opera House see her singing and offer her a chance to do opera, but Blackie has her under a two-year contract and she ruefully stands by it. Later, when he makes up posters featuring her in tights, she does leave for the Tivoli. He gets an injunction against Burley but knocks out the process server when he hears Mary perform as Marguerite in "Faust". She proposes marriage to him, and she agrees to go back to the Paradise as his kind of singer, but his childhood chum, Father Tim Mullin, intervenes.
