To get a better chance, the hopefuls decide to build a talent pool, where the person with the most chances for a job gets the full support, trying to get jobs for the others there too--and Joan is chosen to do that. But this is not so easy when her fiance' is trying to keep her away from the stage.—Stephan Eichenberg <eichenbe@fak-cbg.tu-muenchen.de>

Thelma Mason, Sue Collins, Polly, Glenda Benton and Ann, are all boarders with Joan Terry at the same professional boardinghouse. The other girls all come to the conclusion that Joan has the "real goods" and makings of a big star, so they and the landlord, "Pop" Billings pool their funds and form "Talent, Inc." to promote Joan's career. Joan, forgetting her old boyfriend in Kansas City, James Blake, is falling in love with Steve Dexter but James shows up determined to talk Joan into forgetting her silly ambitions and return to Kansas City as his wife. Meanwhile, Glenda reads a script that Sue has written and realizes it is a "grand" vehicle for Joan, and Glenda convinces two producers to produce the show. James comes along and buys them out, intending to close the show and force Joan to marry him and return to Kansas City.—Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>
