The childhood sweetheart of struggling bandleader Crane, she's his song arranger and has written an original number they are shopping around. Recording star Myra Vance gives them their big break when she wants to sing their song. However, Vance is also interested in Crane, leading to Holly and Crane's breakup. Holly goes solo and signs with another music house, based on her success with their song for Vance.
