Comment
A manicurist uses her female charms to help land deals for men she works with. In this case she uses then a the younger son of a rural famer. he falls in love with her but his brother dispises her as a gold digger and so to get even she marries the younger son. The second half of the film becomes more melodramatic, but there is good performance from Nancy Carroll which got her an Oscar nomination.
