The play centered around a small town girl, Meg Wheeler, played by Sheree Sarko, who moves to New York in hopes of finding a good job and an eligible bachelor. After arriving at the girls’ hotel, where she was to stay, the other girls told her her ambi- tions were hopeless. Ignoring their comments, she instantly found a job working for Doughton Brothers and proceeded to date Miles Doughton, Mike Cloyd, a man most popular with the ladies.
