As described in a film magazine review, chorus girl Jerry Lyon resembles Jeanette Durant, a Broadway star whose husband is an international crook. Jerry, in love with struggling playwright Daniel Hammon, is induced to pose as Jeanette. She becomes involved in a series of wild adventures in which she innocently comes into possession of some stolen diamonds. She meets Ramsey, a theatrical producer, who agrees to star Jerry in Daniel's play, after she has brought the police in time to arrest a gang of desperate criminals.
