Three young musicians are desperately looking for a job. Short of money they had to hand over their instruments to a pawnbroker. They join a young composer nearly financially short as themselves who convinces them to move with him to San Remo where he will premiere his first revue and in which they shall feature in. Meanwhile they are working in a hotel as chambermaid, bellboy and waiter to earn their living. But on the San Remo festival they get their chance to show their talent.
