Kurt Anderson (William) is the tyrannical manager of a New York department store in financial straits, who thinks nothing of firing longstanding employees or of toying with the affections of his female staff. One such victim is Madeline (Young), a beautiful young woman in need of a job. Anderson hires her as a salesgirl, but not before the two spend the night together. Madeline then falls for Martin West, a rising young star at the store. Her biggest fear is that Martin finds out her guilty secret.
