Ten Cents a Dance

Taxi dancer Barbara O'Neill (Barbara Stanwyck) at the emporium "Palais de Dance" marries young office clerk Eddie Miller (Monroe Owsley): a failure, a louse, and a thief who steals money from his boss to pay off the heavy gambling debts he has incurred. Barbara borrows $5,000 from wealthy admirer Bradley Carlton (Ricardo Cortez), and she repays Eddie's debts only for her ingrate husband to accuse her of having compromised herself. She realizes just what a loser she has married, so she divorces him and agrees to become the wife of generous Mr. Carlton although she's not in love with him.
