Concerned for the horse's well-being, she sneaks aboard a train taking the horse and its caretakers to New York City. En route she meets a talent agent (Robert Taylor) who, impressed with her dancing and singing, sets her on the road to stardom and romance blossoms between the two. A subplot involves a boarding house for performers run by Sophie Tucker, who is trying to find a big break for young Judy Garland.
