Broadway singer Lulu Belle and rich suitor Harry Randolph are found shot and severely wounded in her dressing room one night after the show. Lulu's ex-husband, George Davis, is accused of the shooting, since he has been previously convicted of attempted murder of another man who got too close to Lulu.
