Broadway Musketeers

The lives of three women who grew up together in an orphanage cross again in this remake of the pre-Code classic Three on a Match. Childhood friends Isabel Dowling (Margaret Lindsay) and Connie Todd (Marie Wilson) bail out the third in their trio -- Fay Reynolds (Ann Sheridan), who is arrested for showing a little too much flesh in a nightclub. The reunited orphans vow to renew their friendship and reunite every year to celebrate their birthdays, but fate soon sends them down some very different paths: Isabel abandons her family for a gambler, while Fay falls for and marries Isabel's ex-husband and raises their daughter Judy like her own. The film culminates in a shocking twist, and when the dust settles, a new trio unites for the annual celebration.
