Broadway star Johnnie Walker needs a break from his hectic life as a sex symbol, so goes to the country with his entourage. They take in an amateur play which is so bad it's funny, and invite the whole company to put it on Broadway. Walker falls in love with leading lady Bessie Love, but back in the city doesn't let her know his real identity as a star. The show is a big hit but for all the wrong reasons as far as Love and friends are concerned. In the film's best scene, Walker reveals his true identity in the rain. A good mixture of comedy, romance and even a little drama, though the ending is pat.
