Dopo una carriera brillante, l'attrice cinematografica Margaret Elliot va incontro ad un rapido declino, soprattutto per le cattive condizioni finanziarie conseguenti ad investimenti sbagliati. Malgrado tutto, ella non si arrende e continua a pretendere per sé parti da protagonista, mentre produttori e registi ora cercano di evitarla. Disperata, cerca conforto nell'alcool e una sera viene arrestata per ubriachezza. Un ex collega, che ha fatto fortuna come costruttore navale, la fa rimettere in libertà, pagando per lei la cauzione, e le procura un impiego in un negozio di lusso, che però ben presto lascia a causa dei pettegolezzi fra i clienti, per rincorrere l'ennesimo sogno di riscatto nel mondo del cinema.
