锦囊妙计

Boozy, brassy Apple Annie is a beggar with a basket of apples who is as much a part of downtown New York as old Broadway itself. Bootlegger Dave the Dude is a sucker for her apples --- he thinks they bring him luck. But when Annie is in a jam and only they can help, Dave and girlfriend Queenie Martin need more than luck. Annie's daughter Louise, who has lived all her life in a Spanish convent, is coming to America with a Count and his son. The count's son wants to marry Louise, who thinks her mother is part of New York society. It's up to Dave and Queenie and their Runyonesque cronies to turn Annie into a lady and convince the Count and his son that they are hobnobbing with New York's elite.
