An ambitious writer's efforts to catch on with a New York City fashion magazine produce disastrous results.

ABSTRACT
Sidney Young, British writer and intellectual enamored with the concept of celebrity from a young age, happens upon the opportunity of a lifetime when he is asked to take his talents across the water to write for New York City fashion publication Sharps. A possible shot to literary stardom goes awry as Sidney's efforts to fall in with his overbearing boss and superficial starlets backfire, often to comedic effect.
