Show Synopsis:
Seymour Fleming is running the apprentices of the Surf and Sand Playhouse into the ground, but they want to raise money with their own revue so that the playhouse's kind co-owner Bunny can pay Seymour the money her father owed him. Terry and Gus have recently broken up and Terry is trying to seduce the playwright Lee. Susie is pining for Val, who has fallen in love with Jennifer, whose stage mother Phyllis disapproves of the romance. Phyllis gets the apprentices' revue cancelled, but they vow to fight back. They lock Lee in a cellar, but he escapes after he hears that Jennifer is planning faking sick to avoid acting in his play, and goes to tell Seymour. Seymour announces that a famous producer named Steve Edwards is coming to see Lee's play, and both Susie and Terry go to his hotel room to see him - Susie because Steve is her brother and Terry because she wants to seduce him to advance her career. Gus gets Terry to leave and Val gets angry at Susie, not knowing that Susie and Steve are related. The apprentices intentionally mess up much of Lee's play so that they can start performing their revue for Steve, and he gives Bunny the money she needs to own the playhouse herself without Fleming. Val and Susie reconcile, as do Gus and Terry.
