Things have been running suspiciously smooth with the movie business. Becky is on the phone with Jake, worried that she or her daughters may not be able to get into see him later. Sidney enters with a troubling word. Harold comes in to complain about an actress who was tearing up the scenery. The figure of speech gets Papa riled up. The temperamental actress is more than the sons-in-law can handle. They can’t afford to lose her, and need Jake to calm her down.

The actress enters to complain about her high salary and poor treatment by the studio. She threatens to leave and go back to Hungary. The temperamental actress only makes Jake worry more. Can Harold meet her demands over the script?

Becky pop sin, and mistakes the egotistical actress as a secretary. Will this turn into a cat fight? Becky reads a letter from Abraham Michelson from back in the Bronx, who tells a secret about the exotic movie star.
