Synopsis
This is the story of Lady Lou -- a bawdy nightclub singer in the 1890s, who spends most of her time tossing witty barbs at the overheated clientele. With her old man locked up in the slammer, Lil is forced to amuse herself with the legions of men fighting for her attentions. She keeps her many admirers at arm's length, even if she does accept the generous diamond-studded gifts they bestow upon her. But the tough cookie soon finds her heart melting for a handsome young man who works at the local mission.
