The story

Judy LeRoy, a chorus girl with dreams of Hollywood stardom, is promoted out of the chorus to play a human football in the Broadway musical Quarterback Kelly. On her way to a dance rehearsal, Judy accidentally bumps into Melvin Hoover, the bumbling assistant to Look magazine photographer Mergo, in Central Park, and after a brief argument, they go their separate ways. That night, after seeing Judy's picture on a poster for Quarterback Kelly, Melvin uses his press credentials and watches her football number from backstage.
