 Oscar-winning Movie queen Margaret Elliot s (Bette Davis) popularity and wealth have both gone bankrupt, Yet she is sure she can somehow jump-start her declining career. "One good picture is all I need," she says. She manages to get a screen test for a part in a film she always wanted to do. Offered to be tested for a supporting role in the film, she accepts, believing that if she plays the character woman as a sexy young girl she will be awarded the top role.
