Laughing Sinners

Ivy Stevens, a singer and dancer, is callously abandoned by her lover Howard. She tries to commit suicide, but Carl, a Salvation Army member, stops her and introduces her to the charitable ways of his group. She joins, and Howard comes walking by her in the street by chance. Later, he seduces her and tries to bring her back to their old way of life. However, Carl drops by, and—after punching Howard in the face --, disavows that any affection of his towards her is influencing him to bring her back to the Army; and he convinces her to return. Ivy abandons Howard and the last scene of the film shows Ivy and Carl, in Salvation Army uniform, walking off and sharing a hug.
