The Best Things in Life Are Free

Ray Henderson joins Buddy De Sylva and Lew Brown to form a successful 1920s musical show writing team. Soon, they've got several hits on Broadway, but De Sylva's ambition leads to friction amongst the group, as the other 2 feel increasingly left out.

Ray Henderson decide di andare ad Atlantic City a trovare la cognata Kitty Kane che sta per andare in scena come soubrette in una rivista. Trovandosi sul palcoscenico, Ray ha modo di far sentire alcune sue canzoni. In mezzo al pubblico ci sono due compositori di successo. I due sono talmente impressionati dalle canzoni di Ray che propongono all'autore di collaborare con loro.
