Aspiring singer Rose Sargent (Alice Faye) meets handsome fellow entertainer Ted Cotter (Al Jolson) and the two rise to fame as partners in the booming Manhattan vaudeville scene. Soon Sargent is courted by charming con man Barton DeWitt Clinton (Tyrone Power). Caught up in the glamor of the spotlight, Sargent ignores Cotter's warnings about Clinton's criminal ways and pursues him anyway — even as her new beau's crooked reputation begins to threaten her hard-earned success.
