Seeking stardom, housewife Roxie Hart watches Velma perform as she awaits furniture salesman Fred Casely, with whom Roxie is having an affair because he promised to introduce her to the nightclub's manager.

She convinces her gullible husband, Amos, to take the blame, telling him she killed a burglar in self-defense.

Roxie learns the backstories of the other women there, including her idol, Velma ("Cell Block Tango"), who rebuffs her attempts at friendship.
