The West Point Story

Elwin 'Bix' Bixby is an unemployed Broadway musical director who agrees to stage the annual 100th Night show at West Point. He is offered the job by producer Harry Eberhart, with whom he has had a rocky relationship over the years. Eberhart has an underhanded goal in mind: He wants to get his talented nephew Tom Fletcher out of the Corps of Cadets and turn him into a Broadway star. Bix, who is broke or nearly, agrees to arrange this in return for $7,500 and 2% of the gross of the show Eberhart wants Fletcher to star in.
