synopsis
In this tale about the rocky road to stardom, Ginger Alden plays Lady Grey, a poor young woman from the backwoods who hopes her singing talents will get her somewhere in life. She is taken away from home by her first, sleazy manager and subsequently raped by him. As though that were not quite enough, he also forces her sister into prostitution. These abuses are compounded by other kinds of mistreatment but not enough to prevent her career from taking off. Alden herself performs the songs, which are interspersed throughout the film.
