Actually, there are penniless Broadway characters and, in order to avoid Judy learning the truth, they take possession of a Long Island mansion owned by a thief presently doing time in Sing Sing. Judy arrives with her fiancé Dick Nichols (John Shelton) and his father, an industrialist who tries to sell worthless stock to Judy's family in order to bolster his shaky financial status. They give him $200,000, part of the stashed loot they found belonging to the home-owner thief. The latter escapes from prison. Complications arise. Jerry Wald (Jerry Wald) and his band provide music for Jean Porter's singing, and pert-'n-pretty Porter, as usual, carries the show. |

 THE PERILS OF PAULINE (Biography | Comedy | Musical) [1 hour 36 minutes] Fun loving Pearl White, working in a garment sweatshop, gets her big chance when she "opens" for a delayed Shakespeare play...with a comic vaudeville performance. Her brief stage career leads her into those "horrible" moving pictures, where she comes to love the chaotic world of silent movies, becoming queen of the serials. But the consequences of movie stardom may be more than her leading man can take. |

 LINDA BE GOOD (Comedy) [1 hour 7 minutes] Linda Prentiss joins a burlesque troupe to get information for a novel she is writing without her husband, Roger Prentiss, knowing about it. Not knowing who he is, she meets her husband's boss, Sam Thompson, while on a night-clubbing tour with the show's burlesque queen Margie LaVitte. Later, the boss takes a client and Roger to the burlesque show, and Roger is stunned to see his wife as one of the stars. |
