Plot[]
After being dropped from Shy Baldwin's tour, Midge vents her anger and humiliation on stage. She is further enraged that her dismissal was pre-planted in the newspapers. Midge presses Susie for her tour money which, unknown to Midge, Susie gambled away. To repay Midge, Susie attempts to collect the insurance money for her deceased mother's house that she and her sister, Tess, burned down.
The insurance agency is suspicious about the fire's origin, so Susie coerces Tess to have an affair with the agent. Meanwhile, Joel's Chinese landlords are unhappy that his club is successful because it draws unwanted attention to their illegal gambling den; they intend to significantly raise Joel's rent. Susie borrows money from Joel to repay Midge, promising to reimburse him. Midge restarts her comedy career, vowing to no longer be an opening act, but only a headliner.
