- Synopsis:
Gordon Miller (George Murphy), fast-talking Broadway producer, needs funds fast. He owes the Crillton Hotel a whopping bill and is completely broke - when the auditor Wagner (Adolphe Menjou) arrives, he and his company will be thrown out. He needs to arrange a speedy deal with his backer, Jenkins (Eugene Pallette) - but will he bite? Meanwhile, Glenn Russell (Frank Sinatra), a playwright who put up money for a show that has mysteriously failed to materialise, is also looking for satisfaction. The only way that Miller can make enough money to stay afloat is to put on a show -but the only way he can put on a show is if he gets money. Can there be a way out of this morass? Miller thinks there is, and it all hangs on a cancelled cheque... - Actors:
