At the airport, his former employer, Benny Goodman, and his band give him a big sendoff, performing "Hooray for Hollywood".
In Hollywood, temperamental star Mona Marshall becomes furious when she learns that another actress has landed a part she desperately wanted.
Things take an unexpected turn when Ronnie and Virginia begin to fall in love, wading in a fountain pond and singing "I'm Like a Fish Out of Water".
The next day, Bernie takes Ronnie to lunch at the restaurant where Virginia is working as a waitress, to break the news of his date's real identity.
Photographer Fuzzy Boyle appoints himself Ronnie's agent, and they make the rounds, trying to get his acting career started, without success.
Ronnie is disappointed to learn, however, that he will not be acting, but only dubbing the singing for Mona's longtime screen partner, Alex Dupre.
