When the story begins, Donald Avery (Alan Mowbray) is on vaction...but folks keep pestering him because he's a famous Broadway producer. In particular, Helen Middleton (Barbara Read) has the nerve to try to get him to read her play...even though she's never written or published anything before. He essentially blows her off...telling her to submit the play to his secretary.
The trip is suddenly canceled when Avery's producer, Jeff Crandall (Donald McBride) calls him in a panic...their leading lady, Charlotte Morley (Helen Vincent) is talking about walking as soon as her contract is over...and she only owes them one more play. So, Jeff tries to pull a fast one...and looks for the worst play he can find...and it turns out to be Helen's. His notion is to tell Charlotte she'll have to star in this god-awful play....and teach her a lesson in humility. There's a problem with his plan...Charlotte loves the play and insists they do it!
