The fame she has always desired is now within her reach as she awaits her opportunity in the Ziegfeld Follies. Her only hindered is that Nick Arnstein, is unaware of her feelings and on a regular basis leaves town on "business" trips. Nick and Fanny finally admit their feelings for one another after a intense encounter in Baltimore, and Fanny bravely leaves the Follies to chase Nick across the ocean. A bankroll is won by Nick, and the newly wealthy couple gets married. However, no honeymoon lasts forever, and Fanny must decide whether to go after her brilliant show business career, which she loves, or live with her beloved husband, who is growing increasingly jealous of her success.
