Plot
editJingle writer Ty Bruce and secretary Pam Thayer have grand ambitions; Ty wishes to become a serious songwriter and Pam a singer. Advertising agent Lynn Stafford tries to attract Ty's romantic interest, while Pam's roommate Sherry Lane offers to help her audition one of Ty's tunes for the Earl Carroll Sketchbook, a big New York revue.
