A lighthearted 1950s comedy romp built on mistaken identities, male friendship, and romantic entanglement, powered by slapstick energy and charm.

A struggling painter begins taking inspiration from the dreams of his friend and roommate, a comic book fan who narrates an adventure story while he sleeps, but unbeknownst to the latter, the artist of his favorite comic book lives in the same building as they do with the model for her drawings.
