In this melodrama, an actress willingly sacrifices her career to marry a scientist and have a daughter. But try as she might, she cannot resist the call of the footlights and she goes back to the boards. Her husband then divorces her. Two decades pass and the daughter becomes a lovely young woman. Trouble ensues when she and her mother fall in love with the same radio producer. When her mother sees this, she gives the fellow up. The actress is then shot by a disgruntled old lover. This leads her to her ex-husband who has loved her all along.
