A pre-code mystery-comedy that uses a studio murder as a vehicle for satirizing Hollywood vanity and exposing the true nature of its players.

When a movie actor is shot and killed during production, the true feelings about the actor begin to surface. As the studio heads worry about negative publicity, one of the writers tags along as the killing is investigated and clues begin to surface.
