After the success of the first show, Betty receives a dinner invitation from Mr. Zoblotnick and she worries about what say to him. The public demands more Betty, much to Lester's dismay; he connives with Buddy to make her look foolish in front of Zoblotnick.

A plumber runs some pipes in the backstage area, in less than convenient places. A bum hanging around backstage, turns out to be a once famous Gypsy magician, that was booked on the show. When the gypsy doesn't appear to be ready to go on, Lester tries learning magic, his latest attempt to steal the spotlight from Betty.

Lester demands that a beatnik (without a name) must be allowed to perform the on the show. Betty tries to remember her mother's first name. Lester invest in an inventor's device that will disintegrate Betty's voice. All he needs is a recording of her voice.
