Wily hotel 'hostess' Babe LaVal navigates booming business, cabaret calls and shady deals in Atlantic City. She meets a soup magnate, and begins to feel it might be 'the real thing'.

Plot

Among the regular conventioneers, "Babe" LaVal is the most-in-demand "convention girl" among the Atlantic City hostesses, plying their trade on the famed Steel Pier or in the vicinity of the Ritz-Carlton Terrace. She is especially favored by Atlantic City casino-owner Dan Higgins, and Ward Hollister, a Philadelphia soap manufacturer, who isn't as squeaky clean as his product. She also has time to monitor the relationship between her weird-looking, tap-dancing nephew, Tommy LaVal, and sweet Daisy Miller who, may or may not, be pure as the driven snow. Tommy poses no threat to her purity.
