Lulu Monahan, press agent for John Barrymore, tries to secure a sponsor for a radio show. She teams with Kay Kyser’s agent, concocting a story that the famed Shakespearean actor, despite his protests, will coach Kyser in Shakespearean performance—a far cry from his usual Paducah routine. Chaos ensues as Barrymore falls for romance and Lupe loses control, delivering a wildly tuneful romantic romp.
