A city sidewalk is crowded with women who are denied entry to upscale shops. An old woman labeled “Necessity” creates a maelstrom that drives many of the women to seek shelter where they can, which happens to be a brightly illuminated building topped with a “$” where the Devil is sitting, waiting for them. Caption: It is not inclination, but necessity, that drives the underpaid shop-girl to the Devil.
