Two movie extras at an Austrian studio, Janet and Mimi, are not doing so well in their jobs, run away from their jobs with one of the studios luxury cars and expensive prop clothes. They stop at an exclusive mountain hotel, where they are taken for a countess and her maid. Just before they are to be exposed, a burglary is used to cover their nonexistent property and funds, though the burglar turns out to be a conniving suave crook posing as a Baron that now demands Janet become his companion. Another guest, also of dubious background, becomes her protector, but a showdown comes as authorities close in on all of them.
