Playmates plot
"See Kay go Shakespearean and Ginny go for Kay! See Barrymore get amorous and Lupe go berserk! The happiest, tuniest romantic rumpus the Old Professor ever cavorted in!"
Lulu Monahan is John Barrymore's press agent. Lulu tries to get a sponsor for a radio show. To achieve this goal, Lulu teams up with bandleader Kay Kyser's agent to develop a story about the great Shakespearean actor who, against his heartfelt objections, will teach Kay Kyser how to play Shakespeare. It soon becomes clear that this is not the same as playing Paducah.
