Broadway Musketeers

Fay is arrested for performing a striptease, and Isabel and Connie come to bail her out. The three women renew their bond and promise to meet every year on the same day at the same restaurant.

Isabel, unhappy in her marriage to Stanley, attends a nightclub with Fay and Connie where she meets gambler Phil Peyton. Her affair with Phil soon begins, setting her life on a dangerous new course.

While Stanley is away, Isabel and Phil's affair culminates in a high-profile automobile accident just as Stanley returns. At the hospital, Fay tries to cover for Isabel, and their family secrets begin to unravel; Dowling divorces Isabel and retains custody of their daughter Judy.

Isabel marries Phil, but his gambling debts soon ruin them. Meanwhile, Fay and Stanley fall in love and marry, seeking stability away from the scandals.

Isabel has been separated from her daughter for some time; Fay takes pity and allows Judy to visit. The arrangement deepens Isabel's longing and widens the rift between mother and child.

Phil uses Judy as security against his debts, triggering the gangsters to move in on him. They kill Phil in retaliation and decide to kidnap Judy, planning to coerce Isabel into sharing the blame.

Isabel overhears the gangsters deciding to kill her and Judy to cover their crimes. Milt, a gangster who has grown fond of Judy, protests and is killed.

To alert the police and reveal Judy's whereabouts, Isabel tears out the front page of a newspaper bearing the headline "Held by Murder Gang" and clutches it as she leaps to her death. Her sacrifice aims to ensure Judy's safety.

Judy is rescued in the wake of Isabel's death, and the trio's bonds endure as plans to honor Isabel's memory and keep in touch begin to take shape.

At the trio's next ritual birthday gathering, Connie's impending marriage to her boss is celebrated; the boss turns out to be love-sick rather than hypochondriacal. Little Judy arrives to take her mother's place at the table.
