When beautiful blonde movie star Laurel Stevens is kidnapped on the verge of the premiere of her film “The Kidnapped Bride”, everyone thinks it's a publicity stunt. It's not.
A struggling actress, dismissed as a "bombshell" by a studio executive, is discovered by a zany billionaire who becomes infatuated with her and decides to make her a star.
