Washed up singer/actor Frank Elgin has a chance to make a come-back
when director Bernie Dodd offers him the leading role in his new musical.
Frank however is very insecure, turns to alcohol and shuns even the
smallest of responsibilities, leaving everything up to his wife Georgie who
finds it harder and harder to cope with her husband's lack of spirit. Bernie
tries to help Frank regain his self-confidence, believing that it is Georgie
who's the cause of his insecurity.
