Sinopse
A couple of down-and-out British aristocrats buy an American roadhouse.
O gangster transforma a Annie das Maçãs, mendiga da Times Square, em Dama por um Dia. A Annie das Maçãs é uma indigente que sempre escreve cartas para sua filha na Espanha e diz nas cartas que é da alta sociedade de Nova York. Com sua filha repentinamente vindo para a América com seu novo noivo e o pai do noivo, um membro da aristocracia espanhola, Annie precisa manter sua encenação de riqueza ou o conde não dará sua bênção ao casamento. Ela recebe ajuda inesperada de Dave the Dude, uma figura bem conhecida no submundo de Nova York, que considera Annie o seu amuleto de boa sorte. Ele lhe oferece um apartamento de luxo para entreter os visitantes - mas esse ato de bondade incomum de um homem com uma reputação vergonhosa desperta suspeitas, levando a complicações que fazem com que as coisas não saiam exatamente como foram planejadas.
