Two Girls on Broadway

Molly Mahoney partners with her fiancé Eddie Kerns to form a vaudeville act. They dream of stardom on Broadway and decide to leave their town for New York City. This move sets in motion both their career ambitions and the tensions to come.

Eddie makes his radio debut with his 'singing canaries,' even though the birds can't sing. His performance impresses listeners and he earns a job offer at the station. The opportunity marks a turning point for their ambitions.

Eddie pushes Buddy Bartell to give Molly and Pat an audition. The audition promises a big opportunity but also hints at the rivalry to come between the sisters. The event marks the first major step toward professional exposure.

Bartell suggests pairing Eddie with Pat, triggering tension over who should be in the spotlight. Molly, meanwhile, is offered a degrading job selling cigarettes, a humiliation she endures to support her sister. She intentionally lets Pat take the spotlight to protect family pride.

Wealthy playboy Chatsworth falls for Pat and begins to flirt with her. Pat is flattered by the attention but remains torn between her sister and the new possibilities. The affair introduces a new complication to the trio's dynamics.

Molly learns about Chatsworth's wild past from her gossip friend Jed Marlowe. She warns Pat that the glittering lifestyle could bring trouble. Pat's affections for Eddie intensify as these warnings swirl around her.

Feeling it's best not to hurt Molly or disrupt her engagement, Pat decides to go home. She plans to withdraw from the upcoming spotlight and step back from the romance she shares with Eddie. Molly remains unaware of Pat's true reasons.

Pat accepts Chatsworth's proposal and elopes with him, hoping to escape the painful triangle. Eddie is unsettled because he has quietly loved Pat all along. The elopement clears the way for a confrontation that is long overdue.

Hearing of Pat's marriage, Eddie admits to Molly that he has long been in love with Pat. The confession deepens their understanding and prompts a new consideration of happiness for all involved. Molly shows growth and a willingness to support Pat's future.

Eddie races to City Hall after overhearing Pat and Chatsworth's whereabouts and interrupts the wedding ceremony. He proclaims his love for Pat in front of the witnesses, creating a dramatic turning point toward a possible union. The interruption challenges Pat's immediate plans and tests loyalties.

With Molly's blessing, Pat and Eddie decide to marry. Molly returns home, having supported her sister's happiness and found her own resilience in the process. The story closes with a hopeful note for all three as they move forward.
