A young Chinese woman working in the kitchen at a London dance club is given the chance to become the club's main act, which leads to a plot of betrayal, forbidden love, and murder.

The star attraction of the Piccadilly Club is the dancing team of Mabel and Vic. Victor is infatuated with Mabel, but she rejects his advances, since she is in love with Valentine Wilmot, the club's owner. As Mabel and Vic perform their act one night, a customer unhappy about a dirty plate causes a disruption. When Wilmot goes back to the kitchen to investigate, he finds several employees in the scullery watching Shosho, one of the dishwashers, dancing on a table. Wilmot fires both Shosho and Victor that night, but the club's sagging fortunes soon lead him to re-evaluate Shosho's talent.—Snow Leopard

In London, Mabel Greenfield and her partner Victor Smiles are the lead attractions of the Piccadilly Club with their dance show, bringing high society to watch them dancing and have dinner. Victor is in love with Mabel but she has an affair with Valentine Wilcox, who owns the club. When a client irritated with a dirty plate disturbs the show, Valentine investigates the restaurant and the kitchen. He finally ends up in the scullery where he sees Chinese dishwasher Shosho dancing on a table and the other employees watching her instead of working. Valentine fires Shosho first, then Victor. However, Mabel alone is incapable of holding the clients, and Valentine invites the exotic Shosho to dance in Piccadilly Club. She is acclaimed by the audience and has favorable reviews, and she catches Valentine. Envious and jealous, Mabel decides to pay Shosho a visit to tell her that she is in love with Valentine.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
