Synopsis
John, who plays Uncle Tom, and Roy, who plays Little Eva, are the sons of Blanche St. George, owner and leading lady of a repertory company that presents Uncle Tom's Cabin in tank towns; and both boys dislike their stage life. Roy is particularly sensitive about his role, since his girl lives in a nearby town. The troupe registers in a Connecticut village at the only hotel, where John notices his mother's agitation at meeting the proprietor, Mr. Wilson. John later learns that Wilson is their father, whom Blanche has left to pursue her career. John confesses his longing for a real life but is obligated to stay with Blanche until she can earn the money to buy the opera house. At the performance Roy acts Eva under protest, and all goes well until his ascent, which is jeered by the gallery; removing his wig, Roy escapes and heads for Wilson's farm. Wilson offers Blanche funds for her opera house in exchange for the boys, and the family is happily reunited.
