Carnival barker and professional scammer Lee Tracy cooks up a plan to get his girl on Broadway. Through a series of publicity stunts he succeeds in tricking producer Frank Morgan to let her star in one of his lavish productions. Once a star, she thanks him by showing him the door and fooling around with the producer. Tracy brushes it off and wastes no time in starting from scratch with a new starlet. More ridiculous publicity stunts follow but this time he resorts to blackmailing the producer to get his way.
