The movie follows up where the first one left off, Al (John Lund) is still trying to promote Steve's (Dean Martin) career. Eventually he gets booked to a local TV station and is spotted by a movie producer. He is offered a contract and Steve, as well as the rest of the gang, Irma (Marie Wilson), Jane (Diana Lynn), and Seymour (Jerry Lewis), all head to Hollywood.
The trip ends suddenly when the 'producer' is discovered to be an escaped lunatic. Al tries to set things straight by taking the gang to Las Vegas to work at a casino, but things aren't as they seem. Irma causes havoc by wrecking a rigged roulette wheel, and she gets kidnapped and held for ransom until Al can raise $50,000.
Meanwhile Seymour, dressed as an Indian brave, locates Irma and rescues her. The publicity that is received during the entire incident brings another movie offer...this time for Irma and Seymour!
- Although filmed after At War with the Army, this was the second Martin and Lewis film released.
