Synopsis
The vaudeville husband-and-wife team of Eddie Burns, a comedian, and Lily Clark, a singer, breaks up when a schemer named Gloria slips into the act while Lily is out having a baby. Eddie's act goes from bad to worse, while, on her own, Lily becomes a motion picture star. Eddie drifts to Hollywood, gets into one of Lily's pictures as an extra, and is reunited with her.
