Synopsis

Virginia is a dress model for Poppa Sam, who refuses to let his employees date buyers, but she does so anyway. She reserves her affection for elevator operator Bernie, who disapproves of her dates with other men. Virginia is fired when her boss finds out and can’t get another job. Buyer Allan invites her to a party at his lodge, but she learns she’s the only guest. With Bernie’s help, Virginia escapes his lecherous advances. Bernie becomes a fashion designer and marries Virginia. She warns other models: “dates for good times alone never compare with dates for true love.”
