- Entertainer Melinda Howard has been touring with a small theater company through the provinces, only being able to survive with the money sent to her from her Broadway star mother, Jessica Howard. Melinda decides to go back to New York to surprise her mother who she hasn't seen in years. What Melinda doesn't know is that her mother is a washed up drunkard whose only job is to sing at a seedy after hours club, that is when she's not in the hospital trying to sober up. Melinda heads to the swanky Manhattan address her mother has provided, which in reality belongs to beer baron Adolph Hubbell, who also has financed some Broadway productions. He employs as his butler and maid Lefty Mack and Gloria Davis, friends of Jessica's who also used to be in the theater. Intercepting Melinda, Lefty comes up with a plan to reunite mother and daughter for one night in the Hubbell house. Adolph goes along with the plan when he hears it is for Jessica's benefit. But the reunion can only happen if Jessica stays sober enough.
