In the throes of the Depression, the theater business is bad, and Fanny's love life is worse. When con artist Billy Rose (James Caan) shows up, she helps him start a showbiz career. But the return of Fanny's first husband (Omar Sharif) threatens to break up her act and her budding romance with Billy.
