Perfect Movie Fan Joe Ruddy is brought to Hollywood as a publicity stunt and put in charge of a production company as a gag, but everybody isnt in on the gag, and Joe imports a notorious gangster, Buggsy Malone, to play himself in a film based on his life. Buggsy has gone straight, more or less, but retains some of his old habits to the extent of assuming control of the film, and the whole studio. His sister Molly comes along and falls in love with Joe. The head of the studio, R. B. Harris, quickly becomes disenchanted with the idea of publicity stunts.
