Tony Martin is and understudy on Broadway who gets his big break when he the lead actor fakes sickness when Martin is threatened with deportation. After the play, he is rushed to a boat but his taxi collides with another one, where he meets Rita Hayworth, also on her way to the boat, but to be married to a wealthy, older man. They miss the boat and he sweet talks his way into staying with Rita. Naturally, a romance develops and they become engaged practically overnight. This upsets her former fiance who, along with his valet, scheme to get her back. Formula fluff with a few interesting songs.
