In short order, he goes from the mail room to the sales office to the boardroom as a top executive at Vallee's Worldwide Wicket Co. But he discovers that making it in business isn't all it's cracked up to be, as he finds himself dodging vengeful superiors, back-stabbing underlings and a buxom secretary.

...perfect synthesis of singing, dancing, comedy, and satire, a show that brought scintillating dialogue, sharp-edged lyrics, and catchy tunes into sharp focus.
