“Good-Time Girl in Paris!”

Lynn, after losing her job as a dancer in Mexico City, is struck by a car and badly injured. The car was driven by Lance, unwittingly involved in his employer Big Mike’s assassination of an enemy. Lance later apologises to Lynn and they fall in love. Lynn’s injuries will probably prove fatal in a few weeks, so Lance asks her to marry him. While they’re waiting for the minister, Big Mike shows up to eliminate Lance, but is shot by the police. Meanwhile, Lynn forces herself to walk in an attempt to save Lance, which actually proves a miracle cure for her injuries.
