The story of a young actress trying to attain stardom on Broadway.

Stage-struck country girl Mary Ellis (Colleen Moore) arrives in New York and gets a job with a chorus line. She is soon out of work for refusing the attentions of the show owner. George (Johnnie Walker), a songwriter, befriends her and gets her a job in a Chinese cabaret. By a combination of circumstances, Mary is falsely accused of the murder of the show-owner's friend. Mary is freed through the devoted efforts of George, who becomes her husband. They both become successful when George writes a hit play, starring Mary, based on their experiences.—Pamela Short
