The film is set during 1927, where Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont are a famous movie couple. Lina has false pretensions, for she feels their movie romance is real. Don has no romance on his mind, for his career is the most important thing to him along with his previous partner Cosmo. Don and Lina’s next project is a musical. Don’s voice goes perfect with the songs, while Lina’s voice is not enough no matter how hard she tries. They decide to dub her voice with Kathy Selden, who dreams of becoming an actress. Don falls in love with Kathy, but Kathy’s main focus is receiving her big break.
