In 1948 Charley Pearl lives off the fortune his family made in toothpaste, filling his days with speedboats and fast cars instead of work. He is engaged to Adele Horner, and her father, the Hollywood studio mogul Lew Horner, worries that Charley has no ambition. Charley's four friends take him to Las Vegas for a bachelor party, where a drink at El Rancho Vegas brings him to Vicki Anderson, the singer on stage. Warned that she belongs to someone else, he pursues her anyway, and the two end up in bed, discovered by Vicki's other lover, the gangster Bugsy Siegel.
