Friendship, love and jealousy among the stars of a vaudeville show: Sharpshooter Jack Carey fires his assistant Sylvia, who years ago left her husband, the magician Keats, because she fell in love with Carey. Keats himself has just returned as the new star of the show, but he′s never gotten over the separation from Sylvia.. And then there′s young dancer Gloria, who in turn has a crush on Carey. However, these romantic entanglements shortly seem to take a backseat, when the rehearsal of Carey′s new gun trick ends in a horrible accident. Or was it attempted murder?
