Фильм рассказывает историю нескольких лет жизни Бригхэма Янга — американского религиозного деятеля, второго президента Церкви Иисуса Христа Святых последних дней (широкой публике известной как секта мормонов) и основателя города Солт-Лейк-Сити.

После убийства Джозефа Смита — основателя религии мормонов и движения Святых последних дней, Бригхэм решает взять на себя руководство церковью и не дать только организовавшейся пастве разойтись в разные стороны. Именно он, после начатой травли мормонов властями США, стал инициатором «великого переселения» мормонов на запад 1846-47 гг. Под его руководством Мормоны дошли до Мексики, где и основали город Солт-Лейк-Сити, ставшей их столицей. В 1851 году президентом США Миллардом Филлмором, Бригхэм был назначен губернатором Юты.

В 1913 году работник киностудии Майкл Коннорс увидел в постановке на Бродвее Молли Адэр. Очарованный ее красотой и талантом, он уговаривает ее оставить театр и уехать с ним в Калифорнию, где в то время начинает развиваться киноиндустрия. Став сценаристом и режиссером фильмов с Молли в главной роли, он делает из нее звезду... Сюжет замешан на биографии Макка Сеннетта и Мэйбл Норманд. В фильме снимались в роли самих себя многие звёзды немого кино. В имени главного героя заменили всего две буквы. Изменены названия студий. Скандал с загадочным убийством Уильяма Тейлора заменен на автомобильную катастрофу и по-мелочи. Но много и придуманного. Мэйбл Норманд не была звездой Бродвея и попала в кинематограф без помощи Макка Сеннетта. Макк Сеннетт в фильме встречается со своим «двойником» в молодости. Фантастическая концовка ‒ никакого триумфального прорыва в звуковое кино в реальности не было.
