Sixteen-year-old actress Ann Winters (Jane Withers), who has been a movie star since childhood, declares that she no longer wants to play "childish" roles. Her attitude irritates her agent, Harry Fabian (William Demarest), who tells her that the studio has decided that her next picture will be Ann of Honeysuckle Farm, in which she is to play a twelve-year-old. Ann leaves a note for her sympathetic secretary, "Biggy" Biggsworth (Ruth Donnelly), saying that she does not want a career if she cannot have a life, too, then runs away for a two-week vacation. Just then, innocent Penny Ryan (also Jane Withers) from Oriole, Nebraska, arrives. Penny is the winner of a contest concocted by Harry in which the fan who most resembles Ann gets to spend two weeks with her in her home. Harry and Biggy are stunned by Penny's appearance, for she is an exact double for Ann. Harry decides to induce Penny to impersonate Ann, who is to start her new film the next day or else be suspended by the studio.

The story begins as Frankie Foster (Anne Shirley) leaves home for Manhattan after graduating high school. With little money and no prospects, Frankie is just about to move back home when she meets Stanley Benson (Dennis Day) at a diner where Frankie has been washing dishes. Stanley asks Frankie out for dinner and a movie and convinces her to stay in Manhattan and take some classes at the local community college. Frankie tells Stanley that she is broke, and he suggests a way she can earn some extra money. She doesn't like the tone of Stanley's voice, but she is broke and has little choice, so she follows Stanley to his friend Johnny Pearson's place (played by Phillip Terry). Johnny calls himself a manager, but Frankie immediately knows he is truly a pimp. He offers her an opportunity to earn some money and even gives her a room she can live in. Frankie wants to tell him where to go, but she is broke so she moves in to Johnny's apartment building and begins sleeping with men, for money, during the nights, and working with Johnny's mother, Mrs. Pearson (Jane Darwell) during the day in the family's bakery, which is nothing more than a cover business for tax purposes.
