 Conceited film star Emery Slade was on top in 1932; in 1949, he s broke and still insufferable. Fox producer Crossman enlists Slade s aid to persuade broadway star Rosalie Brooks to star in the film "Bandwagon." But when Slade meets Julie Clarke, his assistant s onetime girlfriend, he decides she, not Rosalie, should get the part. No one can fathom his motives for this apparently selfless act, but there are a few tricks in the old fox yet...and he ll need them all.
