David Niven is cast as a concert pianist whose business manager Joseph Buloff handles his many diversified investments which among other things a brownstone apartment building called The Cleopatra Arms. Acting as superintendent of the place and also one of the tenants is Victor Moore. When Moore comes calling one day Niven finds out about his ownership and gets to meet some of the many tenants there including perky model Jane Wyman.
It isn't too long before Niven is involved thoroughly with the lives and fortunes of all the tenants there. Among the others are Wyman's boyfriend Wayne Morris and an irascible Broderick Crawford who has a problem getting to sleep.
Crawford works a graveyard shift job and comes home and wants a little shut eye. The comedy around him centers on his irascibility due to sleep deprivation. All the other tenants want him out and Niven finds a way to oblige (by loudly practicing piano in Jane Wyman's next-door apartment for hours on end).
