Charity Hope Valentine is a New York tax dancer (a professional dance partner) who knows there's gotta be something better than the work at the Fan-Dango Ballroom. Innocently she gets involved with an Italian movie star, then seriously involved with the very straight-laced Oscar Lindquist whom shew meets in a stuck elevator at the 92nd Street "Y". Eventually Oscar asks Charity to be his wife but the revelation of her employment makes the union impossible so when last seen, Charity is still a girl who lives "hopefully ever after".
