In search of summertime employment, goes to New York. He gets much more than he bargained for when he signs up as a stagehand at the Broadway revue show ''George White's Scandals''. While the work is exhausting, what's really wearing Indy down is the fact that he also has three new girlfriends -- singer Peggy, poet Kate and socialite Gloria -- and is trying to prevent each of them from learning of the existence of the other two. His new friend George Gershwin is of little help, finding humour and -- of course -- song in Indy's predicament.
