Fanny, who has a powerful voice and enormous ambition, knows better. When Fanny first meets Nick Arnstein, a charming and attractive gambler with a soft side, she falls in love right away. The celebrity status she has always wanted is now within her reach as she awaits her big break in the Ziegfeld Follies. Her only problem is that Nick Arnstein, is unaware of her feelings and regularly leaves town on "business" trips. Nick and Fanny eventually admit their feelings for one another after a passionate encounter in Baltimore, and Fanny bravely leaves the Follies to pursue Nick across the ocean. A bankroll is won by Nick, and the newly wealthy couple gets hitched.
