Life Begins at Eight-Thirty plot

Kathy lives with her father Madden Thomas in a cramped New York apartment. Madden was a celebrated actor, but his booze hit him hard. From a young age Kathy is paralyzed and she feels trapped in her small world with her father. Kathy is therefore delighted when she meets the co-tenant Robert Carter. When Madden is offered a lead role in a new King Lear production and Robert can become a composer in Hollywood, better times seem to be ahead for the three of them.
