Within minutes one evening, Dave, Alabam, and Mickey's girlfriends break up with them - Dave's girlfriend wants him to do something more serious than acrobatics, Alabam's girl tires of his poetry, and Mickey's gal thinks he may be getting too serious. Meanwhile, in the same apartment building, Thelma Todd, a leading actress of the stage, is rehearsing a death scene. One at a time, the lads overhear her calls for help, burst in, attempt a rescue, and then fall for her. She plays a bit with their affections, especially after hearing that each has lost at love. The ex-girlfriends overhear: is jealousy the mother of renewed interest?
