Synopsis
ACT I: At the Sleep Tite Pajama Factory, Prez, the head of the Garment Workers’ Union threatens a strike unless the workers are granted a 71⁄2 cent raise. Factory head Hasler has no intention of giving in to such a demand. Newly- hired superintendent Sid Sorokin, exasperated by the slow work pace of two young employees, shoves one of them and soon finds himself before the grievance committee, overseen by the headstrong—but to Sid, very attractive—Babe Williams. No sooner has she adjudicated the dispute than she is teased by the factory girls about her own, quite obvious, initial feelings for Sid. Factory timekeeper Hines, meanwhile, is sweet on Hasler’s secretary Gladys, but has trouble containing his jealousy over every contact she has with males in the factory. When the principled Babe refuses Sid’s offer for a date, he laments his own inadequacy and senses the futility in trying to pursue her. At the Union picnic, the skirt-chasing Prez foists his attentions first, without success, on Gladys and then on seamstress Mae. With chemistry starting to sizzle, Babe invites Sid over to her place, where discussions about romance and Union wage claims become entangled. Back at the factory, Hasler still refuses to accept the wage hike. When Prez orders a work slowdown and Babe jams the production line, Sid sacks her on the spot.
ACT II: Gladys entertains at a Union assembly called to consider more ways to undermine operations at the factory. Babe’s father Pop tries to effect a reconciliation between his daughter and Sid, but stubbornness and opposing commitments to the well-being of the factory intervene. With the work slowdown continuing, Sid’s secretary Mabel informs Hasler that quality control is suffering and orders are being cancelled. Sid’s plea with Hasler to compromise with the Union falls on deaf ears, but his elaborate scheme to get Gladys to show him the locked company ledger eventually succeeds after a visit to a local club. Armed with some “top secret” company data, Sid confronts Hasler and then goes before the Union rally.
