Count Armalia (George Zucco) wants to prove that only luck separates the poor masses from the aristocrats. He offers club singer Anni Pavlovitch (Joan Crawford) money and opportunity to play Anne Vivaldi, his mysterious fictional friend. Giulio (Franchot Tone) is not impressed with her seeming wealth and social class.
It's part Cinderella and part Trading Places. This is very much about Joan Crawford. I don't really care about this character. She slips into her upper crust a little too easily. The character would work better if she is more a fish out of water with her new life. I'm not in love with this story, but I don't hate it either. The concept needs a few tweaks and this may become something.
