Synopsis

Spoiler shield

On summer break from college, Indy stage-manages a new Broadway musical revue composed by George Gershwin. Indy also trades quips with the razor wits of the famed Algonquin Round Table - when not soothing temperamental stars, worrying over suspicious backstage malfunctions, and romancing three women simultaneously.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
