At Hollywood's Esoteric Pictures studios, W. C. Fields, playing himself, is seen admiring a billboard advertising his previous film, ''The Bank Dick'' (1940). He encounters various hecklers and minor calamities, including a classic scene with a rude, sassy diner waitress (Jody Gilbert). His doting niece, Gloria Jean, also playing herself, is on her way to rehearse some songs at the studio, where she demonstrates her classically trained coloratura soprano. Fields himself is also there to pitch a script to Franklin Pangborn, playing a producer named "Mr. Pangborn".
