Summary:
Peggy Pepper, a Georgia girl who wants to be a dramatic actress, goes to Hollywood and at first can find work only as a patsy for Billy Boone in slapstick comedies. Billy, however, soon helps Peggy to become both a serious actress and a star. Fame and wealth go to Peggy's head; she becomes vain and snubs Billy in favor of AndreĢ, her romantic leading man. Peggy eventually comes down to earth, however, and acknowledges her love for the patient Billy.
