Shecky Moskowitz is a zany cocktail waiter on a pleasure cruise with stunningly gorgeous beauty queens.Since the ship's comedian, Dickie Diamond, gets all the girls by being the funny man, Shecky dreams of taking over as the ship's comic. Unfortunately, Dickie doesn't want the competition and refuses to give Shecky a chance at performing as his warm up. As fate would have it, the comedian gets locked in the bathroom and, in need of a comic act, Shecky is given his big break at stand up.
