Mike (Merry Anders) and Loco (Barbara Eden) talk Hollywood heavyweight producer B.J. Gilmore (Gerald Harrington) into considering Greta (Lori Nelson) as a Hollywood actress. Greta works hard to talk her boss at the TV station Mr. Tompkins (Tom Brown) into giving her a part in an upcoming production "The Magnolia Tree", as a means of an audition for Mr. Gilmore. The part is tiny with her only line being, "Professor McDermott, you're car is waiting." Mike and Loco advise her to "pad the part". Greta comically rehearses overacting the line, stretching it to two minutes. Mr. Tompkins cuts her part and Mike disastrously goes to see him as Greta's agent. Will Greta get the chance to get her "feet wet" in pictures?
