Having moved from burlesque shows to big Broadway musicals, producer Kerry Bolton (Warner Baxter) craves prestige. He thinks he's found it when he falls for classy young widow Rosalind Cleve (Mona Barrie), who reluctantly consents to marry Kerry if he'll pay for the overseas training of her opera-singing sweetheart, Stanley Drake (Charles Quiqley). When a pretentious new show starring Stanley flops, Kerry's former partner, Pat Doran (Alice Faye), secretly hatches a plot to restore his fortunes.

Another behind-thescenes Broadway picture, which sticks close to formula but is reasonably entertaining.
