Nice Girls

The story begins with Hector, the postman who is known for being a busybody. He delivers mail to the Dana household, especially for Cora, the maid he secretly loves.

The Dana family consists of three sisters: Sylvia, a passionate actress; Nancy, a flirtatious young woman; and Jane, the 'nice girl' who cares for rabbits. Their father, Professor Oliver Dana, is writing a book about diet and is testing it on their pet rabbits.

Richard Calvert arrives at the Dana household to observe Professor Dana's work with rabbits. His presence captivates the three sisters, who each attempt to impress him in their own unique ways.

The family comes together for a musical evening, with Jane singing 'Beneath the Lights of Home' accompanied by her family. The atmosphere is filled with joy and music, showcasing their camaraderie.

During the Fourth of July celebration, Professor Dana makes a speech, and the family engages in dancing and singing. Jane performs 'Old Folks at Home', contributing to the festive spirit.

After borrowing Don's car, Jane decides to abandon her 'nice girl' persona and takes Richard to New York instead of the train station. This marks a turning point in her character's journey.

At Richard's home, Jane changes into clothes belonging to Richard's sister and plays 'Love at Last' on the piano. This act signifies her attempt to rebel against her persona, although she soon realizes it's all just a game.

After rejecting the idea of being someone she isn't, Jane drives back home in Richard's sister's pajamas. Unfortunately, she runs out of gas, causing chaos in the neighborhood as everyone witnesses her predicament.

Back at home, Jane locks herself in her room until her father brings her a telegram from Richard. This moment heightens the tension as she grapples with the rumors surrounding her actions.

Jane attends a benefit for the International Red Cross and finds out that everyone believes she is engaged to Richard. She unknowingly performs 'Beneath the Lights of Home' amidst the congratulatory atmosphere.

After the benefit, Jane seeks comfort from Don, who dismisses the engagement rumors. Frustrated, Jane declares she is indeed engaged to Richard, leading to tension between her and Don.

At the benefit, Jane and Richard confront the misunderstandings surrounding their supposed engagement. They decide to fake a quarrel to dispel the rumors, showcasing their playful yet complex relationship.

In a significant development, Don enlists in the army, adding pressure to Jane's emotional turmoil. Jane seeks him out to explain the situation and to confront her feelings for him.

During her visit, Don professes his love for Jane, leading to an off-screen kiss. This moment deepens their connection and complicates Jane's feelings towards Richard.

To conclude her emotional journey, Jane sings 'Thank You America' at a bandstand for the crowd at the Army base. This powerful moment highlights her transformation and newfound confidence.
