Plot:
Candy Williams is an optimistic but superstitious young woman. Just starting her show business career, she is the fourth billed player of four in Hap Schneider's comedy/musical revue troupe currently performing in a second rate theater in Miami Beach. As the show isn't pulling in the audiences, the show is canceled. The four are forced to work in an upscale hotel to pay off a debt they incurred. Staying at the hotel is successful Broadway composer Dick Carson, who is for the first time self-producing his latest show. The father of Lorraine Thayer, Dick's casual girlfriend, is the only potential financier. Dick wants her father's money on merit, with no strings attached concerning Lorraine. When Candy meets Dick, he believes she is solely a hotel employee and she believes he's a blue collar mechanic. They soon fall in love. But when he sees Candy perform, he wants her for the lead. But what will Candy think when she learns the truth about her mechanic boyfriend's identity? The lead in the show may be a moot point when Lorraine sees the competition for Dick's affections, she who also controls daddy's purse strings.
