The story

Following an opening credits sequence with Lionel Hampton singing the title song ("Mister Rock and Roll"), radio personality Alan Freed hosts a rock and roll concert at the Brooklyn Paramount, and introduces rising singer Teddy Randazzo and his song "Kiddio". After his performance, Teddy fends off his friends Fisher & Marks, a brash songwriting duo, and agrees to be interviewed by young reporter for World Magazine Carole Hendricks. Unpretentiously over dinner, he tells her an abbreviated account of how he came to draw the attention of Freed, and the two of them develop chemistry with each other, singing a duet ("It's Heavenly").
