Harold_Lloyd_Bumping Into Broadway

An aspiring playwright and a chorus girl live in adjacent rooms in a rooming house catering to those struggling to make it on Broadway. Her problems may be more severe as even though she has a job in the chorus of a musical comedy, she isn't getting paid. That situation changes when she is fired for not knowing the routine. Both the boy and the girl are among the rooming house residents who have received third and final notice for unpaid rent, which means eviction if they can't come up with the $3.75 back rent. The boy sacrifices himself in giving her what money he has to her for her to pay her rent, he figuring that he can soon sell his just completed play, which he knows is good. He just has to avoid the landlady and her muscle until he does so, which may be no easy task. In the process, both the boy and girl see the other more exciting side of Broadway life, where the money flows easily. This view of the other side has its own perils and rewards for the pair.
