Vorhang auf!
Finanziell ruiniert kehrt Schauspieler Tony Hunter an den New Yorker Broadway zurück. Eine Revue soll dem einst vielumjubelten Hollywood-Tanzstar zu einem glorreichen Comeback verhelfen, allerdings gerät er an den falschen Regisseur. Dessen surrealistisches Spektakel wird ein gigantischer Flop. Doch als die unermüdlichen Schauspieler letztendlich selbst Initiative ergreifen, schlägt das Stück wie eine Bombe ein.
