For years Apple Annie (Bette Davis), a poor Broadway fruit seller, has maintained to her daughter that she is a wealthy New York socialite. But, with a reunion and society wedding on the horizon, Annie's fabricated lifestyle risks being revealed. To maintain the ruse, local gangster Dave the Dude (Glenn Ford) engages a colourful crop of 42nd Street characters to help imitate high society. But will Annie be able to maintain the masquerade?
