Synopsis

Broadway actress Sibyle Fane visits the home of Anna Mae Neil, daughter of a Hickville farmer, who is engaged to local druggist Virgil Cole. Impressed with Miss Fane, Virgil sells his business and sets out for Broadway. Miss Fane suggests to Anna Mae that she reach New York ahead of Virgil and pass herself off as a city vamp; there she introduces Anna Mae to sculptress Violet Garden and songwriter Pinky Hale, who teach her the latest jazz steps. She flirts with Virgil in a fashionable restaurant and discovers his shifting affections at a party. Convinced of his worthlessness, Anna decides that talented young artist Peter Van Reuter is deserving of her love.
