Synopsis

A circus performer falls in love with a wealthy young Southerner and accompanies him to his family's plantation. Their welcome depends on what the household believes about her background. Romance and theatrical friendship confront the social boundaries of the antebellum setting.

Behind the scenes

RKO invested heavily in period furniture for the plantation scenes. The resulting spectacle should be understood as a Hollywood construction of the antebellum South, shaped by the assumptions and omissions of its era.
