Peggy listened to her heart's call, she left Julian and returned to the stage, but gradually, she thought of the dancer in red shoes she had played. She felt that their figures were slowly overlapping. Uneasy Peggy suddenly realized that the most important thing in her life was not dancing but her family. She rushed out of the theater to regain Julian's love, but a train fell from the sky and ended her young life. The film won an Oscar for best match in 1949.
