New York press agent Larry Boyd, with his friend, Monte Cooper, meets Canadian rodeo rider Fifi Follette and encourages her to enter in the Atlantic City beauty contest, which she wins. With the help of Earl Darrell, Larry interests Broadway producer Bill Webster in Fifi, and he puts her in a Broadway play as his "discovery."

They agree to move together to a place where they will be unhindered by ...
