Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald, Spencer Tracy and Jack Holt.

The story is based around the Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Mary Blake (Jeanette MacDonald) arrives at Blackie Norton's (Clark Gable) Paradise gambling hall and beer garden looking for work as a singer. He embarrasses her by asking to see her legs, but he hires her. She faints from hunger. Nob Hill Socialite Jack Burley and Maestro Baldini of the Tivoli Opera House see her singing and offer her a chance to perform at the opera, but Blackie has her under a two-year contract, and she ruefully stands by it. Later, when he makes up posters featuring her in tights, Father Tim Mullen (Spencer Tracy) boyhood friend to Blackie accuses Blackie of exploiting Mary, Blackie hits the priest, causing the priest and mary to break with Blackie and leaves for the Tivoli.
