A musical peek into the private life of a public figure ...what a figure!
Eadie Allen, a newcomer in the chorus line at a seedy burlesque house, is singled out by the show's producer, Tommy Foley, for a larger role. As Tommy hands Eadie her script for the new part, he asks her why she has been so secretive about her life. Unknown to her burlesque colleagues, Eadie lives in a palatial estate in a fashionable district of Boston with her spinster aunt Priscilla, a grande dame who is unaware of her niece's theatrical ambitions and who looks forward to Eadie's marriage to a Back Bay society man. Eadie is enrolled at Glen Moor College, where she is rehearsing a dance number for the school's annual Greek festival. The producers of the festival are Jimmy Tuttle and "Professor" Dingle, two former burlesque performers who have convinced Dean Flint that they are scholars of classical drama. At the conclusion of classes, Eadie hurries to the burlesque theater to prepare for her new role. The next day at school, when Flint tells Eadie that her grades have been slipping, she presses her friend, Pamela Parker, into writing a thesis for her. Back at the burlesque house, Tommy tricks Rose Allure, the lead dancer, into quitting the show, thus opening the spot for Eadie. Eadie is a hit, and to celebrate she and Tommy visit a nightclub where Flint and his wife are dining. There, band leader Hal McIntyre recognizes Eadie and asks her to take a bow. Managing to escape before the dean sees her, Eadie realizes that she can no longer lead a double life and informs Tommy that she is quitting burlesque. The next day, Flint lectures his students about the revolting spectacle that he witnessed at the club. Intrigued, Dingle and Tuttle sneak out to see Eadie at the burlesque, but discover that she has left the show. While at the theater, Tommy recognizes Dingle and Tuttle and they show him a copy of the campus paper featuring a story about their contribution to the festival. Soon after, the burlesque show folds and Tommy is offered a job staging a show at the Plazmore Hotel. Noticing a photo of Eadie in the college paper, Tommy tracks her down and persuades her to perform at the hotel. On opening night, Rose spots Tommy in the hotel corridor and, bent on revenge, notifies the police that an obscene performance is underway. The police raid the hotel, and during the excitement, the zipper on Eadie's dressing gown catches in the coat tails of Flint, who is attending the event. Taken to the police station, Eadie and the dean are recognized by a newswoman, who plasters their pictures across the front page. Thinking that the raid was one of Tommy's publicity stunts, Eadie refuses to see him again. Soon after, Rose appears at Tommy's office and after she admits her part in the raid, Tommy drags her to the college to tell Eadie the truth. At Glen Moor, the board of directors is convening to hear the case against Eadie and the dean when Tommy appears and wins Eadie's forgiveness with Rose's confession. To extricate the dean and Eadie from their predicament, Tommy dons a beard and poses as Professor Nozoros, head of the Athens Art Theater. When he testifies that Eadie appeared in the burlesque on his instructions and was doing confidential research to be incorporated into the Greek festival, Eadie and the dean are exonerated and Aunt Priscilla welcomes Tommy into the family.
