Mr. and Mrs. Moore are on their way to a meeting, along with Daphne, their three-year-old daughter. A man named Al Schlein is alongside them, advising and guiding them. Ms. Moore is eager for Daphne, while Mr. Moore seems timid and sad. They appear poor, as Mr. Moore wears a dusty derby hat. Daphne has bleached hair, mascara, lipstick, and a corset. Al tells Daphne how to greet a certain Mr. Fredman, a famous movie producer. After they leave the elevator, they walk into a door inscribed with "Premier Pictures." Inside, they sit and wait for their meeting. Mrs. Moore pulls out Daphne's plated dancing shoes from a bag she brought and puts them on her. Daphne points out Shirley Temple's picture on a book on the receptionist's desk, and Mrs. Moore tells the receptionist that Daphne is obsessed with Shirley. The receptionist fawns over Daphne's adorableness. The family is escorted into Mr. Fredman's office, who does not seem fazed by Daphne when she greets him. Daphne tap dances as Al plays a tune on the grand piano in the office. Daphne misses a beat in the middle of the dance, but Mr. Fredman seems expressionless. When Daphne finishes, Mr. Fredman tells Al that Daphne has a deadpan look, but Al assures Mr. Fredman that she is very expressive. Mr. Moore pulls out photographs of Daphne for Fredman to evaluate. Al suddenly has an idea and brings Daphne to the center of the room. He tells Daphne to imagine her doll Helen, whom she loves very much, dying. He tells Daphne she will never see Helen again, and Daphne begins to sob emotionally and expressively. Then, Al tells Daphne to imagine Mr. Fredman is the doctor and ask him to save Helen. Daphne approaches Mr. Fredman and pleads with him to save Helen. She cries that Helen is her little child, and if anything happened to her, she would die too. After her act, Mr. Fredman says she is very good, and Al arranges a phone call for later in the day. On their way out, Al proudly exclaims to the family that Daphne is on her way to Hollywood.
