Kipling 'Kip' Cooper (Milton Berle) is a hack comedian doing second rate nightclubs. It's a long road to his eventual success. A young whippersnapper is eager to copy his success, but Kip's agent recounts the hard winding road.
It's a lot of hack comedy. Milton does a black-faced spoof. It's all very hacky and not actually that funny. It's no surprise that the best moment is Bert Lahr's heart-felt speech about comedy from the heart. I've only seen Milton Berle in old small clips. I wasn't around during his heydays. I do wonder if comedic sensibilities have changed or maybe Milton Berle is playing the hack comedian too well.
