His sister Sadie (Glenda Farrell) finds him in Caliente and gets him sobered up. Al makes a date with a chorus girl and keeps it, despite the warning of Dorothy Wayne (Ruby Keeler) that the girl’s husband is waiting for her. As a result, he is knocked cold. Dorothy rescues him, and Sadie, who has persuaded a Chicago roofgarden showman to give Al a job, prevails on Dorothy to be his partner. The two make a hit in Chicago, and Dorothy falls in love with Al, who pays no attention to her.
