Summaries

A song-and-dance man and his comic partner undergo romantic ups and downs when they team up with a female duo and transition from burlesque to vaudeville.

Four young hopefuls--George, Connie, Joan, and Eddie--doing the Burlesque and Amateur Circuits meet by chance and decide to form a team. Of course, their act is a success, and they finally make it to Vaudeville. George is crazy for Connie, but his ex-flame Nancy Gai isn't thrilled, and from the moment she hears about George and Connie tying the knot, she does everything to break up their union--sadly, one night she succeeds, and the foursome go separate ways. Connie divorces George, gets engaged to a rich agent, and makes it on her own--singing in an upper-class Boston nightclub, while Eddie and Joan still keep a successful couple act, but George ends up in a sleazy San Francisco bar, singing for drinks. After all, one minute you're the toast of the town, and the next--you're in the gutter. Isn't that Show Business? Can the group be reunited? Can they be a success once more?—Amber <[email protected]>
