After agreeing to write a film about would-be movie starlets, successful screenwriter Larry Winters (James Ellison) takes a job at a drugstore at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine, where pretty young girls are known to flock. Soon enough, Larry's undercover research ends up taking him closer to his subject … specifically, to a lovely small-town ingenue (Wanda McKay) with dreams of becoming famous. (official distributor synopsis)
