Wow this was one funny lady of her day. Can you imagine transforming yourself from a dancer into a physical comedienne? She did it and did it well.
Basically what we get is a murder committed by Roxie's husband out of jealousy but a ruthless promoter tells her if she confesses to it she can't possibly go to jail or get convicted cause she's a woman and she's in Chicago and no woman ever gets convicted in Chicago. Plus, it'll help her dancing career.
From here on it's just fun hi-jinx and a really spiffy dance number in the jail with the whole cast getting involved.
Your gonna get some quick wit, a cool dance number and Ginger Rogers. That's enough for me...should be enough for you.
