action

The artist agent Danny Rose is very unsuccessful in his profession. He looks after a one-legged tap dancer, a stuttering ventriloquist, a balloon figure butterfly duo and other untalented artists. His special attention is the potty singer Lou Canova, who suddenly rose to fame through a wave of nostalgia.

Danny gives him an appearance in front of important producers. Lou refuses to perform unless his secret lover Tina is at the concert. Danny sets out to find Tina and is drawn into Mafia circles because he is mistaken for Tina's secret friend. Danny and Tina are detained and narrowly escape the Mafia to see Lou perform.

After the concert, Lou reveals to Danny that he wants to change management because he thinks Danny is too unsuccessful. Danny is indignant and flees the hall.

After a while the doorbell rings on Thanksgiving of all times and Tina is standing in front of him. She had left Lou and an advertising star who helped her escape and wants to make it up with Danny, which he agrees to after a brief thought.
