First part of, I'm sure, a barnburner of a story of a girl named Egypt that her parents can't control. While she's not drinking heavily with her friends, she's making goo goo eyes at the Minister! While at a club celebrating with some friends with soda (as you know, prohibition, they sneak alcohol in the drinks under the table!) they get busted by the police! The reel ends with our heroine being carted off to jail! What happens next??!!?!?
