When a star comedian dies, his comedy team decides to train a 'nobody' to play the Star in a big TV show (a Patsy). But the man chosen, bellboy Stanley Belt (Lewis), can't do anything right. The TV show is getting closer, and Stanley is getting worse.

"Jerry's a dumb-like-a-fox bellhop that some smart alecs manipulate into stardom..."
