This comedy series is about Ann Marie, a young single woman living in New York City. While working at a variety of jobs to support herself, she attempts to establish herself as an actress. The quirkiness of Ann's personality is nicely balanced with the humor of her boyfriend, Donald Hollinger. Frequently, Ann's independence is challenged by her well-meaning but overprotective father, Lew Marie. Although Ann's efforts to advance her acting career are occasionally met with setbacks, Ann is undaunted and continues to pursue her dreams.
