Artist Jerry Strong, tiring of a wild party hosted by his Society fiancee
Claire, takes a drive in the country and meets scantily clad Kay Arnold,
self-proclaimed "party girl," who has fled a wilder party on a yacht. Jerry
sees an embodiment of "hope" in Kay's face, and hires her as a model.
Kay initially has gold-digging in mind; when she really falls for Jerry, can
noble self-sacrifice be far behind?

Women of Glamour is a considerably toned-down remake of Frank Capra's pre-code drama Ladies of Leisure (1930). Virginia Bruce steps into the old Barbara Stanwyck role as streetwise good-time girl Gloria, who falls in love with wealthy playboy Dick (Melvyn Douglas). Not only must she contend with Dick's snooty society pals, but she must also cross claws with the
hero's rich-bitch lady friend Carol (Leona Maricle). The dilemma almost leads Gloria to
suicide, but there's a happy ending in the offing. Counterpointing the Gloria-Dick romance is
the comic courtship of Gloria's dance-hall chum Fan (Pert Kelton) and silly socialite Fritz
(Reginald Denny).
