In 1919, as American soldiers from the 401st Infantry return home from the war, former army band members Happy and his friend, "Piccolo Pete," arrive in New York and find work at Scurry's Cab Company. Happy is soon put in charge of keeping Pete's erratic work habits, which include his tendency to attract the company of musicians, in check. Pete, however, quickly befriends Ollie Watts, a talented singer and songwriter whom he encourages to enter in an upcoming amateur talent contest sponsored by a local radio station. At the event, while waiting for his turn on stage, Ollie joins the audience, where he is forced to endure the performances of a professional sneezer, a taxidermist who imitates whipporwils, a woman who makes chicken sounds and a yodeler. One contestant, a pretty stenographer named Margaret Jones, makes a valiant attempt to sing, but is heckled by the audience. After comforting the dejected contestant, Ollie asks for her phone number so that he can call her for a date. When Ollie finally takes the microphone, he introduces his songs with an explanation of their origins. Inspired by his childhood memories of traveling through America with his father in search of oil, Ollie's songs become instant hits with radio audiences and soon propel him into stardom. Impressed with the performance, music publisher Simmons invites Ollie to a private audition, where he sings his new song, "Headin' Home." Meanwhile, when Margaret returns home, she finds attorney and relentless suitor Don Trevor waiting for her. Despite Simmons' initial show of interest in Ollie, the publisher informs Ollie after the audition that he will not be signed with the company. Ollie later attends a party, where he meets music expert DeValerie, who accuses him of plagiarism after playing a song on his phonograph that bears a close resemblance to his own. Ollie soon discovers that his song, "Headin' Home," was illegally published by the unscrupulous Simmons, and that unknown to him, the purloined tune has become a top seller around the country. Certain of Ollie's innocence, Margaret comes to his aid by enlisting the help of Don, who files a $50,000 lawsuit against Simmons. The charges result in a trial, where in order to prove he authored the song in question, Ollie arranges to bring to the courtroom every person across the nation who inspired him. With the help of former army musicians who are recruited by Happy and Pete, Ollie and his witnesses, consisting of Americans from all walks of life, perform his song with such feeling that the judge, realizing the song is Ollie's, rules in his favor.
