Teen star Jane Withers becomes disillusioned with Hollywood and hits the road for a vacation. A lookalike fangirl arrives the same day and with the help of her agent substitutes for the missing actress. She is courted by a group of has-been child actors, including members of Our Gang, to star in their stage production to entertain the troops. Meanwhile, the real actress gets stranded at the country estate of a playwright and develops a crush on him. Ridiculous melodrama mainly of interest to see Spanky and Alfalfa together for the last time on film, albeit singing a terrible song.
