Жизнь артиста кино полосата как зебра — головокружительный успех чередуется с поражением. Для Тони Хантера, выброшенного из Голливуда, наступил период забвения. Но, слава богу, что у парня есть верные друзья: Лестер и Лили. Они уговаривают Тони испытать удачу на сцене в постановке Бродвейского мюзикла. После ряда неудач, он принимает участие в Нью-Йорском шоу, но и тут все против него: и прима балерина, и ревнивый хореограф, который его просто ненавидит. А продюсер и режиссер его вообще на дух не переносит. Но шоу продолжается, и упрямый Тони все-таки ухитряется превратить его в самое «горячее» на Бродвее.
