Synopsis

Kitten O'Day, who works as maid in a theatrical boardinghouse, firmly refuses a stage career, though she is the daughter of a theater family. When song-writer Tod Gilbert takes up residence in the house, Kitten falls in love. Tod poses as a success, intimating that he is to write songs for Sharon Lee, a Broadway prima donna; Kitten learns, however, that he is unable to get to Disbrow, Sharon's manager, and decides to help. Thus, Kitten takes a chorus job, arousing Sharon's animosity through her efforts to promote Tod's song; but when Tod assaults the manager, Kitten is forced to lock Disbrow in the bathroom while she tries to persuade Sharon to sing the song. In a stunning manner, Kitten presents the song herself, winning over Disbrow and assuring her happiness with Tod.
