The movie follows brilliant ventriloquist "The Great Gabbo" (Stroheim) who increasingly uses his dummy "Otto" as his only means of self-expression. Gabbo's gimmick is his astonishing ability to make Otto talk and sing while Gabbo himself smokes, drinks and eats. Despite his success he continues to pine for Mary, who is now romantically involved with another singer/dancer.
