 Lulu Belle (Dorothy Lamour) is singing in a cheap dive in Natchez, Mississippi in the early 1900 s when she meets rising young attorney George Davis (George Montgomery). He gives up his fiancee and career to marry Lulu Bell. When his money runs out, Lulu Belle goes to work in a New Orleans club run by tough gambler Mark Brady (Albert Dekker). She tries to send George back to Natchez by pretending that she has fallen for prize-fighter Butch Cooper (Greg McClure) but George, in a fit of jealousy, drives a handful of forks into Butch s face. He is sent to prison and Lulu goes to New York with millionaire Harry Randolph (Otto Kruger), who makes her the singing sensation of Broadway and asks her to marry him. She refuses when she learns that George has been released from prison, realizing that he is the only man she ever truly loved.
