Lecho de rosas (1933)
Las exprostitutas Lorry y Minnie salen de la cárcel de Louisiana con la clara intención de encontrar un hombre rico con el que casarse y les solucione la vida. En Nueva Orleans sus caminos se separan y Lorry acaba robando a un pobre tipo y saltando del barco para evitar volver a prisión. Será entonces cuando conocerá a Dan un modesto barquero que le dará cobijo y comida. Pero Lorry vuelve a robarle y huye. Una vez en la ciudad se entrevista con Stephen Paige para un trabajo en un periódico. Lorry consigue engañarlo, emborracharlo y él acaba despertando en su casa con ella al lado. Confuso pero seducido por sus encantos, Stephen le dará alojamiento y ella le contará a su antigua colega Minnie que ha conseguido un trabajo que es un lecho de rosas. Pero los caminos de Dan y Lorry se volverán a encontrar de nuevo y ella deberá decidir si quiere seguir siendo la amante del celoso y sobreprotector Stephen o probar suerte con el humilde pero joven Dan...
