Working Girls  (1931)


Two working-class sisters take up residence in a home for single women, then go on the make for jobs and men.  Hitting and missing in both departments, the two take up with beaux both above and beneath their own stations (including one amorous employer), leading to heartache and catastrophe, and no particular lessons learned except the importance of supporting one another.
