Susan Adams, who is employed as a pianist in a Broadway music shop, entertains ambitions for a

stop if he gives her a chance on the stage. Susan mistakes Eddie Murphy, recently arrived in town,
for a flirtatious masher, until she finds him living in her boardinghouse; and their friendship grows
when she learns he is a friend of Joe Horn, a saxophonist. Eddie, who plays drums in a cabaret, is
