Plot summary
Over lunch at the Carnegie Deli, a group of comedians trade stories about Danny Rose, a talent manager whose one-man agency looks after performers no better agent would take. Ten years earlier, his best-known client was Lou Canova, a lounge singer who had some fame in the 1950s and was trying to revive his career. Lou has a wife and three children, and he also has a mistress, Tina Vitale, whom he wants at a big engagement Danny has booked for him. Since Lou cannot be seen with her, Danny agrees to pose as her escort. Tina's ex-husband is a gangster who remains in love with her, and once he takes the pair for a real couple, Danny lands in the mob's path.
