In 1927 Hollywood, silent-screen star Don Lockwood and his co-star Lina Lamont have to make the leap to talking pictures, but Lina's voice is shrill and grating. Don, his friend Cosmo and aspiring actress Kathy Selden save the film by turning it into a musical, with Kathy secretly dubbing Lina's voice.
