He charms society women in travel parlors while his scandalous reputation hides behind hotel life and distant victims. Riveting tale of a roguish figure courting power and privilege.
A chaotic scene shows Rainbow Bill failing to charm a group of fashionable girls in a small parlor, ending with a sharp moral about unsavory confessions and the limits of flirtation.
