Young, naive Bud Eagle (Arch Hall Jr.) travels to Hollywood to find fame and fortune. He meets sweet, innocent Vicki (Nancy Czar) who immediately gets him on a TV show. He becomes a rock star overnight and unscrupulous agent William Walters (Arch Hall Snr.) signs him up. BUT he is using him, giving him no money. making him drop Vicki and Eagle discovers that life in lonely at the top. You can probably figure the story out from there.
Terrible by the numbers story offers no surprises. The dialogue is awful, the acting dreadful and the direction is just pathetic. Hall's singing isn't bad, but the songs themselves are mediocre and the way the singing parts are shot are hysterically funny. Plot holes galore in this one--at one point Vicki invites Bud to a skating rink where there's no one else but them---yet a spotlight follows her along when she's skating! A sequence with three idiots (who make the Three Stooges look restrained) "kidnapping" Bud is SO bad my jaw dropped! This movie is so badly made on EVERY level it's absolutely fascinating to watch. I actually got impressed watching it--it fails so completely on every level! The ending especially had me in hysterics. Not a good film by any means but worth watching. A camp classic!
