Plot[]

Chorus girl Hope Springfield, full of hope but not much talent, is inadvertently given the starring role in a new movie. When the error is discovered, heads roll and the completed film is shelved. But Rudolf, the nephew of studio head Lionel Z. Governor, takes a liking to the girl and arranges for a sneak preview. The movie is a success, Hope becomes a star ("Lila Tremaine"), and in true Hollywood happily-ever-after fashion she and Rudolf walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand.
