Plot Summary
Maggie, a singer, and her friend Ella, are traveling to California by ship. After getting off the ship in Panama, they meet “Skid” Johnson, who poses as a tour guide just to get close to Maggie. That evening, Skid gets in a fight to protect Maggie’s honor, and the trio end up in jail, causing Maggie and Ella to miss their boat. In need of money, Maggie and Skid pretend to be a husband-wife act and take up residence in a café – eventually they get married. More trouble arises when Skid’s ex-girlfriend, Anita, comes back into town. Not long after, Skid’s agent gets him a lucrative job in New York. Maggie encourages him to go, leaving her alone in Panama. Skid becomes a great success but at a cost: he’s formed a partnership with Anita.
