"Sue Graham lives in the tiny hamlet of River Bend. When her parents refuse to let her marry her sweetheart, Dave Giddings, she enters a movie contest and wins. But Sue finds stardom in Hollywood very elusive and winds up working in the wardrobe department at a studio. She convinces her parents to sell everything they have to join her in Hollywood, but they are taken in by a swindler and lose all their money. Giddings comes out to help Sue get a better job, but she is determined to track down the swindler and get the money back. Eventually she is successful and everyone returns to River Bend."--Janiss Garza, All Movie Guide.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Interesting submitted by kathscot on August 31, 2017, 8:54pm Neither story makes a lot of sense, but it is interesting to watch silent films. The Extra Girl has an opera accompaniment; The Gusher has a piano accompaniment.
