The Big Street

Take it from me... A Girl's Best Friend is a Dollar!

After her abusive gangster boyfriend pushes her down a flight of stairs, self-absorbed nightclub torch singer Gloria Lyons becomes paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair. Despite her bitter treatment of him, busboy Little Pinks selflessly takes her in and cares for her as she alienates others.
