Before Trix and Creamy came out west, they worked at the perfume counter in a department store in St Louis. To get by on their meager wages, they shared a room in a run-down tenement.
Sensing that the struggling young girls faced starvation, the owner of a seedy riverfront dive recruited them for a stage show with promises of stardom and wealth. They accepted the job and a generous cash advance without first finding out what he had in mind for them.
Trix was taken aback when she saw the costume he wanted her to wear. She tried to refuse, but the manager said, "A deal is a deal."
Creamy, who was a little more daring, wasn't as mortified as Trix -- until she learned what he wanted them to do while they were wearing the costumes. Then she, too, wanted to back out of the deal. No dice.
They tried to flee, but the manager barred the way out. They were trapped. Resigned to their fate, they took the costumes into the squallid dressing room and put them on, emerging a few minutes later with a dejected look on their faces.
"Excellent," said the manager. "Very nice indeed. Now go out there and work it."
