Vaudevillian sisters Norma, Mildred, and Patsy, along with Patsy's husband, Stu, come to Las Vegas to turn an old building they inherited into a trendy nightclub. At a casino, the sisters win a tidy sum to fund their venture, but Stu loses it just as quickly. While taking out loans, they get mixed up with a scheming lawyer who wants their property for himself and they must fend him off to keep their new club running.
