Gli alti e bassi delle vite e delle carriere di un gruppo di giovani attrici e show girl ambiziose, provenienti da ambienti disparati e riunite in un ostello teatrale. In particolare, si concentra sul conflitto e sulla crescente amicizia tra Terry Randall, una ragazza ricca e fiduciosa nel suo talento e nella sua capacità di arrivare ai vertici del palcoscenico, e Jean Maitland, una troupe cinica e stanca del mondo che ha subito i colpi duri dello spietato e sovrappopolato mondo degli apprendisti di Broadway.
