Two sisters from Indiana, the wide-eyed and innocent Mae Thorpe, and her more streetwise sister June, move into the Rolf House for Homeless Girls in New York. With June's help, Mae obtains a job as a stenographer for the scientist Joseph von Schraeder, while June gets work as a telegraph operator at Western Union.

Pre-Code girl movies how I love you

Judith Wood really carries this film as the tough and frankly badass older sister to Dorothy Hall, who is probably the worst part of the film. I wasn't too fond of Charles "Buddy" Rogers in this film either. Overall it's a fine little movie and has some fun.

Charming and full of life. But a trite and unimportant romance.

This is the horniest movie of 1931
