Jack is a struggling actor in Hollywood who will do anything to make it big. He meets Nellie, a former actress who is now successful from the talkies. She takes him under her wing and helps him get started in the business. Jack quickly becomes a star, but his ego and ambition get the better of him. He starts to believe that he is invincible and that he can have anything he wants. This leads to a downward spiral of drugs, alcohol, and women. His career and personal life are in shambles, but he doesn’t care. He is lost until he meets a young woman who makes him realize that he has to get his life together.
