Plot: Barney Hopkins is producing a new show on Broadway, but the day before it opens, the set and costumes are confiscated due to unpaid bills. Everybody is sitting in the street, and due to the Depression, there is no work for the three chorus girls Carol, Trixie and Polly. But they hear rumors that Barney is producing a new show. They talk to him, and he promises to give them work - when he finds a backer to produce the new show. Barney hears the tunes of the composer next door, Brad Roberts, Polly's friend. Brad joins them and agrees to back the show. On opening night Brad takes over for the juvenile lead, who is suffering from lumbago. Brad has been very publicity-shy, because he is a member of an upper-class wealthy Boston family. When his family hears what he is doing, his brother Lawrence and the family attorney Peabody come to New York, to end his relationship with Polly. But Lawrence mistakes Carol for Polly, who does not correct his mistake. Lawrence decides to separate Polly and Brad by getting Polly to fall in love with him. But soon Lawrence realizes that he is really in love with that chorus girl.

Quotes:

Trixie Lorraine: "Fanny" is Faneul H. Peabody, just the kind of man I've been looking for, lots of money and no resistance.

J. Lawrence Bradford: I'll ask you to return my check, please.::Carol King: Your check, huh that's on exhibition over there on the wall. I figured you'd stop payment on it.::J. Lawrence Bradford: I'll take the necessary steps...::Carol King: You'll do what? Listen, you made a sap out of yourself and you tried your best to make a sap out of me. Now I never want to see you again, understand? And as for your check, well, you don't think I hold myself as cheaply as all that do you?::J. Lawrence Bradford: Cheaply? Ten thousand dollars?::Carol King: Well that's your estimate of me, not mine. That check is framed, not cashed! I put it there to remind me never to get mixed up with your kind again!

J. Lawrence Bradford: Every time you say 'Cheap and Vulgar' I'm going to kiss you.::Carol King: Cheap and Vulgar! [kiss] Cheap and Vulgar! [kiss] Cheap and Vulgar! [long kiss]

Faneul H. Peabody: [Fay squeals when Trixie kicks her under the table] What's the matter?::Trixie Lorraine: Oh nothing, Fay had an attack of chiseling, it's chronic with her.

Trixie Lorraine: [whispers to Fay] One more look at him with those bedroom-eyes and I'll break your leg!::Trixie Lorraine: [loudly, to all] Excuse me for whispering; Fay and I have so much in common!

Trixie Lorraine: Exuse me. Come here Fay, I have something I wan-ta show you.::Fay Fortune: what do you want?::Trixie Lorraine: Do you see that?::Fay Fortune: See what?::Trixie Lorraine: Can't you read? Where it says 'Exit'?::Fay Fortune: Exit?::Trixie Lorraine: You said it, sister. You start walking and you keep walking, and if you ever come near him again I'll break BOTH your legs, now scram!::Fay Fortune: I could easily resent that!::[as Fay walks away, Trixie kickes her in the bottom, making Fay squeal/shriek]::Faneul H. Peabody: Did Little Fay cry out?::Trixie Lorraine: No, that must have been the cornet you heard.

Barney Hopkins: Who are you?::The Kentucky Hillbillies: The Kentucky Hillbillies.::Barney Hopkins: Who?::The Kentucky Hillbillies: The Kentucky Hillbillies.::Kentucky Hillbilly #1: Singing!::Kentucky Hillbilly #2: Dancing!::Kentucky Hillbilly #3: Music!::Kentucky Hillbilly #4: Wisecracks!::Barney Hopkins: Do you know Your Old Kentucky Home?::The Kentucky Hillbillies: You said it!::Barney Hopkins: Scram right back there! Your old mammy is waiting for ya.::The Kentucky Hillbillies: We get it.

Trixie Lorraine: Isn't there going to be any comedy in the show?::Barney Hopkins: Oh, plenty! The gay side, the hard-boiled side, the cynical and funny side of the depression! I'll make 'em laugh at you starving to death, honey. It'll be the funniest thing you ever did.

Barney Hopkins: It's all about the Depression.::Carol King: We won't have to rehearse that.

Fay Fortune: In the early "cattle call" scene, the girls are asked to raise their skirts for the producer to appraise their legs. Ginger Rogers' character wise-cracks "Not a calf in a carload". This was a pun on the well-known "Not a cough in a carload" slogan of Old Gold cigarettes.
