Synopsis

A handsome rock and roll singer ruthlessly works his way to the top. After sleeping with a woman older than himself, he steals from her purse and leaves for Hollywood where he buys the services of a top agent. The young singer and his agent become close friends, but the singer has an affair with the agent's wife and then becomes involved with a teenaged fan. The teenager becomes pregnant, and the singer takes her to a veterinarian for an abortion, then leaves her to continue his push toward stardom, complete with Hollywood-style beach parties and underhanded business methods. In the end, the manager's wife provokes a violent argument with the singer, and in the scuffle he falls to his death from a balcony.
