The story

Pearl White is a frustrated garment worker who aspires to become a dramatic actress, although she really shines at singing and bantering with audiences. (Shoved on stage to do or die, she throws the tomatoes back at the hecklers.) She joins a touring theatrical troupe owned and managed by handsome but pompous Mike Farrington. Veteran actress Miss Julia Gibbs takes Pearl under her wing, as does Timmy Timmons, another member of the troupe.
