Dolly Morgan travaille comme standardiste dans un hôtel chic, espérant trouver des hommes riches pour prendre leur argent. Lorsque deux escrocs, Gwen et Bradley, la reconnaissent comme "Angel Face", une ancienne détenue qui a violé sa liberté conditionnelle, ils la convainquent de se joindre à eux pour extorquer de l'argent à T. Roger Hammond. Le lendemain du jour où Dolly et Hammond ont rendez-vous, ce dernier va à la police, soupçonnant que l'homme qui prétend être le mari indigné de Dolly, et à qui il a donné 10 000 $ pour son silence, est un escroc. Dolly récupère l'argent et s'enfuit à Atlantic City. Faisant semblant d'être riche elle-même, Dolly rencontre Steve Crandall, qui participe à un congrès sur le ciment, et suppose qu'il est riche. Quelques jours plus tard, quand Steve lui demande de l'épouser, elle accepte. Pendant qu'elle fait ses valises, Bradley, qui l'a suivie à Atlantic City, vient dans sa chambre et menace de la faire renvoyer à la prison de Joliet si elle ne lui rend pas son argent.
