The story

Peter Jones (Jack Mulhall), a small-town hotel clerk from Chillicothe, Ohio, dreams not of tending keys and ledgers, but of conquering Broadway as a theatrical producer. When a fast-talking showman named Jack McLure (William Demarest) checks into the hotel, Peter sees his big chance. He convinces his doting grandmother to mortgage the family inn, raising $25,000 to follow his fantasy to New York.
