    Henry is a hungry librettist with skyscraper ambitions in this hilarious tale about the pursuit of fame and fortune on Broadway. With a great idea and plenty of moxie, he pursues his dream of writing a musical adaptation of his favorite Woody Allen film. When he arranges an introduction to the film producer's daughter, it looks like his showbiz dreams could become a reality. But the closer he gets to success, the more havoc Henry wreaks as he betrays the ones he loves on his quest to make it big in a celebrity-driven town.
