King of Burlesque (1936)
Warner Baxter speelt de ambitieuze producer van een burleske show die tot grote hoogten stijgt op Broadway. Alice Faye is de trouwe zangeres die Baxter tot een succes maakt. Zijn hoofd draait zich om door plotselinge roem, Baxter raakt in de ban van een societyvrouw (Mona Barrie) die haar eigen theatrale ambities heeft. Ze trouwt met Baxter en overtuigt hem vervolgens om een reeks 'artistieke' toneelstukken te produceren in plaats van zijn extravagante muzikale revues. De toneelstukken zijn flops en de vrouw scheidt hooghartig van Baxter. De trouwe Alice Faye, die naar Londen was gegaan toen haar ex-vriend trouwde, keert terug naar de straatarme Baxter. Zij en haar burleske vrienden werken samen om Baxter uit zijn sleur te halen en hem er weer bovenop te zetten.
