Plot

[edit]

As they embark on their journey to Hollywood, Charlie and Eleanor Kendall, a sibling duo fresh off a talent competition victory, wave goodbye to their supportive community in Windebaggo, Missouri. Despite their initial enthusiasm, the pair find themselves out of luck in the city of stars, resorting to sleeping in their car and scavenging for food. It's not until Clark Phillips, a keen-eyed journalist, catches the Kendalls honing their craft that a glimmer of hope appears. Clark manages to secure them a tryout at the Sunset Club, despite owner Percival J. Percival's reluctance. A well-intentioned meal before their performance backfires when the hungry siblings overindulge, rendering them too full to dance. However, fate takes a turn when they perform for the club’s staff post-closure, earning accolades for their talent. The club’s coat check employee Rita extends her hospitality, offering them lodging and helping them land jobs at the club. Yet, their newfound stability is short-lived as an unexpected incident involving a crying infant in Eleanor’s care leads to their dismissal. More complications arise.
