Output: A slot machine mobster, Marty Fats Murdock Edmond OBrien, wants his blonde girlfriend, Jerri Jordan Jayne Mansfield, to be a singing star, despite her seeming lack of talent. He hires alcoholic press agent Tom Miller Tom Ewell to promote Jordan, both because of his past success with the career of singer Julie London a fiction of the script and because he never makes sexual advances towards his female clients. Miller sets to work by showing Jordan off around numerous night spots; his machinations arouse interest in Jordan and soon offers of contracts follow. However, Miller realizes that Jordan really just wants to be a homemaker and tries to persuade Murdock not to push Jordan into a showbusiness career. He thinks hes succeeded when he reveals to Murdock that Jordans singing is so bad it shatters light bulbs, but Murdock suggests that Jordan would be perfect for a song he composed while in prison, Rock Around the Rock Pile a parody of Rock Around the Clock. Miller reluctantly records Jordan performing the part of a prison siren in Murdocks song and heads to Chicago to promote it to Wheeler John Emery, a former mob rival of Murdock who now has a monopoly over the jukebox industry. Suspicious of Millers reluctance to promote Jordan and of the obvious attraction between Miller and Jordan, Murdock has his associate Mousie Henry Jones wiretap a phone call between the pair. Feeling pity for them, Mousie edits out the romantic portions of their conversations and convinces Murdock that their relationship is strictly business. In Chicago, Wheeler is impressed by the song and Jordans voice and offers to sign both Jordan and the song writer. However, when Miller reveals that the song writer is Murdock, Wheeler throws him out of his office and vows never to play the song. A furious Murdock bullies bar owners into buying jukeboxes from him instead and successfully promotes his and Jordans song. To prevent Murdock from stealing his business, Wheeler arranges to have Murdock assassinated at the rock show where Jordan will be making her debut. On his way to the show, Murdock confesses to Mousie that he doesnt want to marry Jordan. Mousie confesses that he altered the tape of Jordan and Millers phone call and encourages Murdock to let Jordan marry Miller. Backstage at the show, Jordan confesses her love to Miller and they kiss. Jordan also admits that she is a talented singer, who lied because she did not want a show business career; she goes on stage and performs a song about her love for Miller. When Murdock arrives, Miller declares to him that he and Jordan are in love; the delighted Murdock surprises Miller by shaking his hand and offering to be the best man. Before Miller and Murdock can tell Jordan the good news, Wheelers assassins shoot at Murdock. Miller fights them off and shoves Murdock on stage to perform his song, reasoning that the assassins wont shoot Murdock in front of so many witnesses. Wheeler arrives and, impressed by the audiences response to Murdock, calls off the assassination and signs Murdock instead.
