Adelaide Adams an adored music hall star from Chicago.  Unknown to Calam she has brought an imposter.

Further disaster strikes when the person she is lovesick for Lt Danny Gilmartin falls in love with Katie the

young girl she has brought from Chicago.   And where does Wild Bill Hickock fit into all this?  Come and find out.
