Sammy Hogarth, a vaudeville comedian who now has his own TV show, is a raging, tyrannical egomaniac who demands instant obedience and heaps abuse on those in lesser positions than he is. His most vituperative behavior, however, is reserved for his weak-willed brother, who Sammy has hired as his assistant but who really uses him as his whipping boy.
