Song-and-dance man Bert Kalmar can't continue his stage career after an injury, so he has to earn his money as a lyricist. By chance, he meets composer Harry Ruby and their first song is a hit.

But due to the fact that Ruby has caused a backer's withdrawal for a Kalmar play, they end their professional relationship.
