Summary:
Marion Davies plays Peggy Pepper, a Georgia girl who comes to Hollywood with dreams of becoming a dramatic actress, but can only find work in the pie-throwing comedies of Billy Boone. She finally triumphs and becomes very vain and snooty. She's about to marry a pseudo-French count when Billy brings her to her senses with the aid of a well-aimed custard pie.
