Stanton Carlisle (Tyrone Power) is a lowlife working in a carnival. Knowing a good con when he sees one, he learns the tricks of a mind-reading act from Zeena (Joan Blondell), then tosses her aside. In time, he becomes The Great Stanton, star attraction of swanky nightclubs and the darling of society. But with all his notoriety built on lies, it’s only a matter of time before exposure brings Stanton’s world crashing down around him. (official distributor synopsis)
