Description
Ralph Carston and Mona Matthews are two Hollywood transplants. They both want to be actors, and share a bungalow while looking for work. Ralph dreams of being a star, but nobody will hire him with his thick Georgia accent. Even the agent who paid for his ticket to Hollywood won't see him. Then Mona achieves a little local notoriety when she mouths off in court and is jailed- then quickly released by a judge who's got his eye on re-election.
That's when Ralph meets Mrs. Smithers. She wants to meet the woman who called the judge a son of a bitch to his face, and invites them both to a party that night. Mrs. Smithers knows everyone in the business and likes to help young struggling male actors. She's got a friend of Mona's living with her now. But she makes it very obvious that she's just as interested in furthering Ralph's career as well...
