"The Golden Girl of "New" Broadway, in a Spectacle Drama of Night Club Life"
Gloria Trask, who rose from a poor background on the East Side to become a star at Costigan's nightclub, is admired by Tom Westcott, a detective, and Sam Roberts, a gangster with whom her brother is involved. Andy, threatened by the gang, is forced to pay, and in a confrontation in Gloria's dressing room, Andy shoots Roberts in self-defense. Gloria helps her brother depart on a South American liner, while Tom forces Roberts' girlfriend, Blanche, to admit to having witnessed the crime. Blanche insists it was murder, but Tom forces her to admit that Roberts had a gun by accusing her of the crime.
