Beggar Apple Annie learns that her daughter, escorted by an aristocratic suitor, plans to visit. It's great news -- except that she has tricked her daughter into believing she is a wealthy socialite. Fearing her true identity will disappoint, Annie petitions a superstitious mobster, who thinks the apples she sells are lucky, for help. Hesitant at first, the mafioso is persuaded by his girlfriend to disguise Annie, if only long enough to fool her daughter.
