Synopsis
Elmer Butts quitte sa petite ville de l'Arizona pour New York où il s'est inscrit au radio-crochet du colonel Crow. Il commence par arriver en retard lors de l'enregistrement de l'émission, ce qui lui laisse une semaine pour répéter dans la chambre de sa pension de famille. Mais il le fait de manière si balourde et si bruyante qu'il empêche de dormir la jeune fille du dessous, dont il est pourtant épris. Quand vient le jour de l'émission, Elmer présente un numéro de... jonglage, spécialité on ne peut moins radiophonique. Pire, Elmer, par sa maladresse, sème la zizanie parmi les musiciens et s'attire les foudres du chef d'orchestre. Sa carrière d'artiste risque d'être éphémère.Actors
