Synopsis

To the public, London’s bustling Piccadilly nightclub all is glamour and romance. The headlining act is the dance team of Vic and Mabel and they keep the customers rolling in. But then Vic quits the show and on the same night the club owner observes the Chinese dishwasher Shosho (Anna May Wong) entertaining the kitchen staff with her exotic and sensual dance moves. She is fired for disrupting service but the club owner can’t seem to forget her and she is rehired, this time as the headline entertainer, provoking jealousy and vindictiveness. The Chinese-American Wong is just astonishing in the best role she had in her long career.
