A down-on-her-luck would-be singer keeps encountering roadblocks on her way to stardom. Judy Alvin has a fine voice but is no match for the politics of a musical producer pushing his girlfriend, the amazingly untalented Phoebe who has obtained employment by using a record of Judy's voice rather than hers.
Living at a theatrical boarding house with a variety of eccentric entertainers, Judy's best friend Marge is determined to find Judy a job to pay her bills that has something, anything, to do with music. A chance encounter with a Rock-Ola 3701 Master telephone juke box gets Judy employment at the company where the duties involve taking telephone calls from patrons of a bar selecting music to hear over loud speakers.[1][2][3]
