Plot Summary

New York stenographer Marilyn David meets Englishman Charles Gray and they fall in love. But Charles leaves town and Marilyn discovers that he is a duke's son and already engaged. Marilyn confides in her platonic friend, reporter Peter Dawes, who publicizes her as the 'No Girl' who refused nobility. So Marilyn cashes in on her unwelcome notoriety by becoming a cafe' entertainer, and in an unexpected way, she succeeds. But can she decide between her two loves? Written by Rod Crawford

Quotes Marilyn David: I want a glass. About this big. Mmm, no, maybe about THIS big. And I don't care what you put in it--whiskey, hair tonic, rat poison--but whatever it is, when I finish drinking it, I want to be curled up in a little heap, right HERE.
