Myrt Spear's (Myrtle Vail) touring vaudeville revue is full of talent and bound for Broadway, but low on funds. Conniving and lecherous  producer Mr. Jackson (Thomas Jackson) helps the show so he can romance the young star, Marge Minter (Donna Damerel). Myrt, and Marge's boyfriend Eddie Hanley (Eddie Foy, Jr.), step in to save the revue and Marge. Ted Healy, Moe, Larry and Curly are stagehands with hopes to join the show, but mostly deal with the antics of backstage crasher Bonnie. Also carrying over from the radio show was the comic-relief "pansy" character Clarence, played by Ray Hedge. Radio program.
