From the first day on, Morty is then responsible for a long succession of disasters in the studio. Hired by mistake as an extra in a musical, Morty starts to sing with the main actress to the great despair of the director, he creates confusion in the editing rooms, in several other Paramutual's departments and, finally, among the secretaries who are typing the dialogs of the actors. Morty is noticed by a famous director from NYC who's sure that the young boy has a future in the movie business as a comic.
