Rosie and Marie are two Kansas City manicurists. When Rosie lost an expensive ring her gangster boyfriend gave her, she and Marie takes an ocean voyage to Paris and masquerade as Girl Scouts.
Rosie Sturges (Joan Blondell) is a Kansas City manicurist, who has a gangster boyfriend name Dynamite Carson (Robert Armstrong). Rosie's friend Marie Callahan (Glenda Farrell) a fellow manicurist and roommate, urges Rosie to drop Dynamite and go after the three things a girl really needs "money, fur and diamonds". While Dynamite is away on business, Rosie goes on a date with a customer, Jimmy the Duke (Gordon Westcott) and he steals the diamond engagement ring Dynamite gave to Rosie.
Fearing Dynamite's anger, Rosie and Marie travel by train to New York and disguises themselves as Girl Scouts of America. In New York, Rosie and Marie meet two businessmen, Samuel Warren (Hobart Cavanaugh) and Jim Cameron (T. Roy Barnes) and follow them on board a ship bound for Paris. Rosie and Marie persuade the two men into paying for their ship fares and also buying them new clothes. Dynamite, who has followed the women to New York and on board the ship, is hiding in the stateroom of millionaire Junior Ashcraft (Hugh Herbert). Junior has hired detective Marcel Duryea (Osgood Perkins) to investigate his wife, who is having an affair in Paris with Dr. Sascha Pilnakoff (Ivan Lebedeff).
