As a publicity stunt, Alabam's press agent has her arrested for doing the, dance. The result is that she gets reams of front page, pub- Heity, but at the same time draws, a warning from the police court Judge that any further perform- ance of the same dance will get her a sentence,

Once adopted, Patsy refuses to | leave and begins to interfere in Alabam's business and love affairs. She attempts to make the young girl a stage star but when she falls, Alabam declares she will try her own way. She seeks out a rich young man, who happens to be the son of Patsy's former lover and intends to marry him for his money. However, the falls in love with him and refuses to go through with her orizin
