Summary
A sequined misfit named Rose, her spangled past peeling like gilt from a carnival wagon, plucks a wounded gander from the claws of her catty chorus-line sisters and turns the honking refugee into a scene-stealing danseur; together they pirouette through a back-country talent night, snag the laurels, and catch the monocled eye of a restless heir who swaps his tuxedo for dungarees, buys her moonlit eggs, installs her in a butter-yellow farmhouse that rubs eaves with his ancestral manse, and labors furrows sunrise to dusk to earn the right to touch her hand. When a dowager’s diamond rivière vanishes during a champagne cotillion, every monocle swivels toward the ex-showgirl; Rose, ringed by whispers, sleuths out the real magpie among the moneyed, unmasking a kleptomaniac cousin, and exits the scandal draped in bridal tulle, the goose waddling behind like a feathered epilogue.
Synopsis
Stranded showgirl Rose rescues a goose from her fellow cast members and employs it as her partner in a local amateur show. After winning first prize, Rose meets a wealthy young man who buys her a late supper, finds her accommodations on a farm adjoining his father's estate, and becomes a farmhand to win her love. Although his family objects to Rose, they hold a reception in her honor. However, when a jewel robbery occurs, Rose is the prime suspect. She soon discovers the thief, followed by her betrothal to the young man.
