New York band leader and hoofer Terry Rooney leaves his band and sweetheart, singer Rita Wyatt, to come to Hollywood to star in a film for Galore Pictures. Although he receives the "put-down" treatment reserved for newcomers, studio head B. O. Regan and publicity man Hank Meyers think that he will be a smash success. When they see the rushes of a fake fight that turns real when a "regular" throws a real punch, their suspicions about his appeal are confirmed, but they don't let him know. After the fight, Terry, who is now depressed about his chances in Hollywood, calls Rita, and they elope on a tramp steamer under their real names, Mr. and Mrs. Thaddeus McGillicuddy. By the time they return, Terry's film has opened, and he has become a star. Regan and Hank try to sign him to a seven-year contract, but it contains a clause that he not marry, because of his appeal as a single man to women. Rita suggests that she come to Hollywood as his secretary, but once work begins, their marriage is strained because they rarely see each other. After Rita returns to New York, while Terry finishes the film, his co-star, the studio's leading star, Stephanie Hajos, tells a columnist that she and Terry are engaged. Terry learns about this and leaves to be with Rita. When Rita calls to find out about the story, Stephanie, who has come to Terry's bungalow to explain, answers the phone, and Rita suspects that the story is true. After Rita agrees to be billed as "Mrs. Terry Rooney" to save the jobs of their band, Terry appears during her number behind her and, while dancing with her, shows her a headline that says his romance with Stephanie was a hoax.
