Chorus girl Peggy Lane finds a small part in a new show for stagestruck country boy David North. At rehearsal, David meets Delerys Devore, the show's star, who quickly offers him a larger part in her act. Quite taken with David, Delerys invites him to her home on the pretext that Peggy will be there; when Peggy does not show up, David leaves, infuriating his hostess. Derelys has Peggy fired the next day, and in reprisal Peggy goads her into a Carmenesque fight backstage just before the show. Derelys is unable to go onstage, and Peggy takes her place, becoming the hit of the show. Peggy and David later marry and give up show business, finding contentment living on a farm.
