Sisters Ruth and Eileen Sherwood move from Ohio to New York in the
hopes of building their careers. Ruth wants to get a job as a writer, while
Eileen hopes to succeed on the stage. The two end up living in a dismal
basement apartment in Greenwich Village, where a parade of odd
characters are constantly breezing in and out. The women also meet up
with magazine editor Bob Baker, who takes a personal interest in helping
both with their career plans.

Remade in 1955 with Janet Leigh, Jack Lemmon, Betty Garrett and Bob
Fosse.
