Only an aspiring songwriter, and a former waitress who has become a famous Hollywood radio star, really believe in him. When the ex-waitress drops by the restaurant to say hello, she and the others decide to play a trick on an arrogant producer by making him believe the waiter has written a sure-fire hit. They succeed and the producer puts on the show. The singer gets to be the star. When the show becomes a smash, everyone is surprised. Songs include: "Hitchhike To Happiness," "For You And Me," "Sentimental," and "My Pushover Heart."

Une jeune fille de 19 ans est condamnée à la prison pour complicité dans un hold-up qui a mal tourné. Son tort est d’avoir accompagné son jeune mari. Celui-ci a été tué. Un malheur n’arrive jamais seul : en arrivant dans la prison, elle apprend qu’elle est enceinte. Rapidement elle va être en butte à la méchanceté de Harper la gardienne en chef qui veut imposer sa loi. Au fur et à mesure que le temps va passer, elle désespère d’obtenir une liberté conditionnelle qui lui permettrait de reprendre une vie honnête et décente et peut-être de retrouver son enfant qui lui a été enlevé. Finalement, elle acceptera de rejoindre le milieu et pourra sortir de prison, mais elle va entamer une carrière criminelle qui sûrement la ramènera en prison.
