Melodramatic tale of a girl, kidnapped by her nursemaid and raised in a slum in early 1900's New York. At 18, she is working as a salesgirl, until her beauty is discovered and she is promoted to a model, or "mannequin," in the department store. Her story takes a sordid turn when she is accused of murder after her attacker dies while she is resisting a rape attempt. Later she is of course acquitted and reunited with her real family. See less
