Jennie Hagen, a stage struck waitress in a diner, is in love with the cook, Orme Wilson, who has a weakness for actresses.  The showboat Water Queen arrives, and Orme falls for the leading lady, Lillian Lyons.  Jennie tries to win him back by taking a correspondence course in acting.

Buck, the manager of the show, gives her a chance, billing her as "The Masked Marvel" in a boxing fight with Lillian.  The exhibition disgusts Orme.  In despair, Jennie jumps overboard.  Orme comes to her rescue; they are reconciled and later open up their own diner.
