A young girl (Doris Merrick) with a reprobate father and brother ends up a dancer in the "Paradise Club" eking out her living in this saloon/brothel where she becomes even more downtrodden and forlorn before falling for a particularly bad egg. The problem is, this all takes half the film and I have really rather lost the will, now. The remainder of this rather drab melodrama consists of poor dance/musical routines (from, admittedly, rather glamorous dancers) with occasional flashes of talent from Robert Lowery as "Danny". The end is inconclusive - but not in a "please let there be a sequel " way.
