The story

At the Hollywood studios of Esoteric Pictures, 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 rude, sassy diner waitress, whom he calls "Blimpy Pie." Gloria Jean, his devoted niece, is on her way to rehearse some songs at the studio, where she demonstrates her classically trained coloratura soprano.
