Brooklyn, New York nightclub run by her boyfriend Danny McGuire. Fellow showgirl Maurine Martin enters a contest to be on the cover of
Vanity magazine, so Rusty tries out as well. When Maurine is given a lukewarm evaluation by Cornelia Jackson, she sabotages Rusty's chances, giving her terrible advice on how to act toward Cornelia. Cornelia's boss, magazine editor John Coudair, decides to check out Maurine at Danny's nightclub, but his eye is immediately drawn to Rusty. It turns out that forty years earlier, he had become instantly smitten with showgirl Maribelle Hicks, whom Rusty looks exactly like. He later discovers that Maribelle is Rusty's recently deceased grandmother. Danny is worried that with her new-found fame, Rusty will leave him. She is quite willing to stay if only Danny would ask her. John brings along
impresario Noel Wheaton to see Rusty perform; Noel is impressed by both her marvelous beauty and talent. Back-stage, he offers her a job. Danny does not want to stand in her way, so he picks an argument to send her packing. Rusty becomes a famous star on
Broadway after appearing in a musical produced by Wheaton, and emotionally decides to marry him. At the last second however, she leaves the wedding and reunites with Danny, her true love. ==Cast==
