Kay Curtis (Glenda Farrell) and June Dale (Mary Brian) are showgirls living off a sugar daddy. June turns down his sexual advances and he abandons them. They have to pay for their $700 hotel bill and start fishing for their next mark. Former colleague Daisy Bradford, who is set to marry wealthy Henry Gibson, ignores them. He takes her to elope and reveals that he comes into his family fortune after their marriage. His new wife goes missing and the police finds a dead man. The gold-digging duo starts digging into the case.
As a comedy, I don't find this funny. I don't find the leads appealing and their antics are not actually funny. Maybe they could be funnier if they play dumb. They could be a funny pre-valley-girl duo. The movie takes a turn when it starts following Daisy's story. Any comedy is gone and it becomes a murder mystery. The girls become fast-talking Nancy Drews. Maybe if they start without the unappealing gold-digging, they would have more rooting interest.
