Polly Adler is a high class madam, who at a party at her bordello looks back at her life, beginning as a poor and naïve young Polish immigrant who works in a sweatshop. After she is sexually assaulted by her boss, for which her housemates blame her, she then is forced to move out. Having lost her job and lodgings, a friend brings her to a restaurant where she is introduced to Frank Costigan, a bootlegger, who lets her live in a plush apartment he uses for his affair with a married woman.
