In Chicago, circa 1924, naive Roxie Hart (Renée Zellweger) visits a nightclub The Onyx, where star Velma Kelly (Catherine Zeta-Jones) performs ("All That Jazz"). Unknown to anyone, Velma had brought a gun to the club. Velma performs on stage was supposed to be a double act with her sister, but that night she performs alone. Seeking stardom, Roxie begins an affair with furniture salesman Fred Casely (Dominic West), who claims to know the manager and Roxie hopes will get her a vaudeville gig. Fred takes Roxie away from the club saying that the meeting with the manager is taken care of. They go to Roxie's apartment where Fred ravishes Roxie in her bed.

After the show, Velma is arrested for killing her husband and sister, Veronica, after finding them in bed together. Later, after they have had sex, Fred tells Roxie that she will never have her own act as she is a 2-bit talent with skinny legs. Fred reveals to Roxie that he lied about his connections in order to sleep with her and throws her around when she tries to get clingy. At this point Roxie, in a fit of rage, shoots Fred three times, killing him.

Roxie convinces her husband, Amos (John C. Reilly), to take the blame, telling him it was a burglar and that he needn't worry, he'll get off. However, when evidence of Roxie's infidelity is uncovered, Amos recants and tells the police that Casely was dead when he arrived home ("Funny Honey"). Roxie is arrested, with District Attorney Martin Harrison declaring she faces execution by hanging.
