Through the use of personal correspondence, interoffice memoranda, and the occasional newspaper gossip item, Madge Lawrence recounts her adventures in Hollywood. She stays at the Girls Community Club, and through a director named Max Sellers she obtains the position of secretary to Hollywood producer Sidney Brand. The work is hectic, as Brand is immersed in production of Sinners in Asylum , featuring his new star, a European import named Sarya Tarn. Brand wants to borrow Clark Gable from MGM to star opposite Tarn, but when the actor becomes unavailable, he signs a contract with a handsome New York stage performer named Bruce Anders. Suddenly Gable becomes available again, and Brand tries to negate the contract with Anders, but Madge, who has become fond of the actor, alerts him in time for his agent to best Brand.
