Bookie Robert Armstrong falls in love with pretty dance hall girl Irene Hervey. Despite spending lavishly on her, she keeps her distance. He decides to get revenge by posing as a Broadway producer and getting her to invest large sums of money in his ruse. He gets help from a kooky family of actors who want to revive Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. When she unexpectedly falls in love with him, he comes clean in the middle of a performance. Just enough sincerity from Hervey, and laughs from the acting troupe, to keep it interesting.
