A stripper is murdered with her own G-string backstage during a performance. Everyone is suspect, but the show must go on! Old-time burlesque on the Great White Way, before the light went out in New York's Time Square.

Screen legend Barbara Stanwyck, action director William A. Wellman and famed Gypsy Rose Lee team up to create the best backstage musical/murder mystery ever made! Based on actual incidents (and folklore) torn from the underbelly of the show biz world. It ain't Shakespeare, but it's a lot of fun!
