Jean Harlow was a blonde bombshell who was discovered as a film extra. The assistant director offered her five days of work on the film and got fresh with her in his office. She went home to her parents, in tears, because she wasn't being treated like a person with feelings. This film follows Harlow's experiences as an extra until the time she is discovered and becomes a movie star. On one film set, she met Arthur Landau who became her agent. Landau brought Jean home to meet his high-powered poker buddies so she would not be awed by them.
