Golden Gate Girl

In San Francisco, widower Jien-Sien Ho, who is known to the Chinese community as Gin Man, worries that his sixteen-year-old daughter Chain-Ying spends too much time at the Chinese Opera. Nevertheless, Duck Sook, a salesman in Jien-Sien's shop, takes Chain-Ying to see Fay-Tien Wong, an actor from China, perform. After the show, Wong invites Chain-Ying to the Golden Gate Music Club for a party and the girl asks him for singing lessons. Chain-Ying and Wong begin to spend time together and Chain-Ying's friend, Sia-Lien Ho, tells Jien-Sien about his daughter's excursions with the actor and the fact that she has been missing school. Jien-Sien confronts Chain-Ying, who insists that in America, fathers have no rights over their daughters. When Chain-Ying says she loves Wong, Jien-Sien disowns her and then blames Duck Sook for his daughter's infidelity
