Hollywood screenwriter Cora Sharpe has what one of the endless intimates she thinks of as her “Committee” calls “a big, loud life.” Her confidant and writing partner, Bud, has been on a manic-depressive roller coaster.

All she needs is a little help from Cora and Bud, who are only too happy to take their troubled act on the road...
