Description by OLDIES.com:
Bill Martin (Jack Oakie) is an egotistical actor who gets carried away with a role and tries to solve real-life crimes. Studio publicist Mary Strand (Ann Sothern) gently assists the amateur sleuth while smoothing over his missteps, especially with the increasingly aggravated Police Lt. Garrison (Edgar Kennedy). When a maniacal writer of poison-pen letters targets Martin for a recent subpar movie performance, murder visits the set, and Martin seeks the sage counsel of criminologist Professor Herman (Eduardo Ciannelli). The professor's advice may just lead Martin into a chamber of horrors – unless Garrison and Mary can solve the case in time.
