| The Story
In New York City, Indy covers a
lot of ground as he stage-manages a Broadway musical,
attends the parties with Fifth Avenue high society,
reads poetry with Greenwich Village bohemians
and trades barbs with the literary wits of the
Algonquin Round Table.
Composer George Gershwin accompanies Indy in his
adventures as he attempts to insure that the show
goes on despite temperamental stars, malfunctioning
props and the fact that he's dating three very
different women at the same time.
