Synopsis
Shoeless, dirty and spunky, young Molly Tobin is the only daughter of a penniless Irish immigrant in Hannibal, Missouri - but she dreams of gold and fame. Stuck on those dreams, at first she refuses to marry lucky prospector Johnny Leadville" Brown. But once she does, they strike it rich, and her dreams seem closer than ever. But uneducated and untrained, the indefatigable Molly Brown can't find acceptance in the society circles of wealthy Denver. Her hunt for acceptance leads her to the terraces of Monte Carlo, where she wins popularity but loses Johnny. He takes off for home, leaving Molly to the attentions of a slick nobleman. Realizing that it's Johnny she wants after all, she sails after him - on the doomed Titanic. But it takes more than an iceberg to get in Molly's way once she's made her mind up.
