Fresh out of college, John Randall (William Reynolds) tries to persuade his father – the owner of a conservative record company – into releasing rock and roll along with the other lame records he already produces.
Anxious to sign up Cindy Adams (Gogi Grant), Dad relents and gives the kid a subsidiary company to be overseen by his A&R man, Danny Phillips (Jeffrey Stone).
It’s pure nonsense from then on as John signs several jazz and rock ‘n’ roll artists, makes thousands of records, and almost blows the whole gig, saving it at the last minute with a scheme to push his records in the supermarkets of his eccentric friend Vladimir Skilsky (Hans Conried).
Standout moments include Fats Domino doing I’m Walking and The Diamonds doing an incredible bit on Little Darling.
