Overview
While vacationing at a boys' camp, the rambunctious Chip Winters befriends a famed composer Johnny Selden.

Alas, her stiff-necked fiancé Walter Mays refuses to allow her to return to the stage, whereupon Rathbone spirals into a depression -- and even worse, a profound case of writers' block.
