In a U.S. town that could be anywhere, 18-year-old Alice Purdee wins a free trip to Hollywood. With the assistance of a cheerful porter, she takes the night train and dreams about her arrival.

Jim Corbett, américain d'origine irlandaise, veut s'élever dans la société.

Corbett, devenu humble, lui rendra le plus beau des hommages.
