Summary:
A troupe of ambitious young actors three men and three women resides in the same apartment. But it's all perfectly innocent, of course, as they're hoping to get their big break by auditioning for eccentric producer Arthur Kenny who lives in the apartment directly below. Perpetually broke, the struggling performers' accommodations are being paid for by the father of Dottie Coburn; who is unaware of his daughter's potentially scandalous and risquéliving arrangement, however, he's quickly brought up to speed by her visiting school chum Muriel Foster. To save their reputation and launch their career, our determined sextet of thespians resorts to every bit of subterfuge to convince Dottie's father of her innocence and producer Kenny that they're worth taking a chance on!
