Tony Hunter, a famous singer/dancer movie star, is feeling washed up and
old hat (old top hat, tie and tails to be exact). The reporters are out for Ava
Gardner, not him. But his old friends Lily and Les Martin have an idea for a
funny little Broadway show and he agrees to do it. But things begin to get out
of hand, when bigshot "artistic" director/producer/star Jeffrey Cordova joins
the production, proclaims it's a modernistic Faust and insists on hiring a
prima ballerina, Gabrielle Gerard, to star opposite Tony, and it's hate at first
sight. And her jealous choreographer isn't helping to ease the tension. The
show is doomed by pretentiousness. But romance, a "let's put on a show"
epiphany, and a triumphant opening are waiting in the wings. After all, this is
a musical comedy!
