The story begins with would-be- songwriter Bob Farrell (Stuart Hall, in his one and only lead role) trying to get his song pitched to the producers of a popular stageshow (called, conveniently, Harmony Heaven). His brief audition is a disaster and Bob finds himself being cruelly laughed off the stage by the cast and crew.
One of the girl dancers, Billie Breeze (Polly Ward) feels sorry for Bob and tries to cheer him up by making him dinner, and he soon takes a shine to her. She encourages him to write a better song, and he gets to work.
He returns to try and get his new song played and ends up unintentionally impressing the theatre director. When Stuart, the star of the show (a "swanker"), tries to trip Bob up, Bob retaliates and knocks Stuart out just as he was due on stage. With no choice, Bob takes to the stage himself and is a huge success, even dragging Billie on stage with him for a number.
As his fame grows, his relationship with Billie is put in jeopardy when he is introduced to the mysterious Lady Violet.
