Joey Barnes hosts a network, late-night New York talk show. Episodes revolve around his professional and personal life, with celebrities appearing as themselves. At home are Joey's beautiful wife Abby, and maid Hilda. Joe Besser costars as Mr. Jillson, the barely competent apartment building superintendent, a high-strung man with a heart of gold. Rounding out the main characters is Larry Corbett, Joey's best friend, head writer and manager.
Joey's guests the Andrews Sisters don't want him and his off-key voice to sing a number with them, but they can't find a song that Joey doesn't know. The sisters sing Apple Blossom Time, and give Joey a singing lesson.
