A young, female Christian has a desire to glorify God through acting. This desire, along with her desire to fight the influence of ungodly actors, drives her to act in films produced by a Christian film organization.

As she works by faith in Christ, the Christian actress is granted fame by God, which she uses to fulfill her desire to glorify God by exerting a godly influence on those she's influencing.

As her influence grows, ungodly actors in Hollywood resent it because of their hatred for 1) godliness and 2) the potential threat she poses to their fame and influence. They therefore set out to spread slander and gossip about her in the mass media.

As the Christian actress becomes depressed and disheartened at these poisonous rumors, the Holy Spirit teaches her, through an elder woman in the faith, that her character, being what God knows of her, is what's most important, not reputation, being what people think of her.  The Spirit of God strengthens her through this counsel, and she resumes her adventure to glorify Christ through both word and deed as a Christian actress.

However, the ungodly actors conceive a new plan to destroy Christ's reputation by destroying hers: actively setting temptations in her way to compromise her Biblical beliefs and standards and bring her into the ruins that other actors have fallen into. By faith in Christ, the Christian actress eventually wins the long, drawn-out struggle against the ungodly actors, exposing their wickedness through her Christlike conduct and becoming a massive influence for Christ and His Gospel to millions.
