STORY SUMMARY

Rosalind Russell stars as Kim Halliday, a spirited woman who learned everything she knows about gambling from her compulsive gambler father.

After her father dies without leaving her a fortune, Kim settles into a quieter life in Rhode Island, working at a museum operated by her Aunt Clara.

Her fortunes suddenly appear to change when she learns that she has an interest in a Las Vegas hotel. Kim uses her savings to travel west with Aunt Clara and investigate her unexpected new property.

Once in Las Vegas, Kim discovers that the situation isn't nearly as glamorous as she imagined. Before long she becomes involved with wealthy casino interests, potential business partners and the handsome Victor Monte.

Filled with gambling, romance, songs and colorful Las Vegas entertainment, The Girl Rush gives Rosalind Russell a lively musical-comedy showcase alongside Fernando Lamas, Eddie Albert and Gloria DeHaven.
