Homer "Spec" Higgins, an aspiring songwriter from Hucklebury, Arkansas, gets his inspiration from milking his Jersey cow, "Minnie." Spec goes to New York to make it big and sells his song "Sitting on the Edge of My Chair" to radio star Don Gray, who later claims he wrote the song. Ex-racketeer Draper then blackmails Gray into letting him publish Spec's songs and split the profits with him. Meanwhile, Spec gets arrested for fighting in Cafe Marigold, where blues singer Barbara Holbrook performs, and lands in a cell with her drunken attorney brother Gilbert. Draper's men bail out Spec and force him to compose more hit songs, but he says he can't compose without Minnie. Meanwhile, Barbara and Spec perform for each other and fall in love, and she tells the naive Spec that Gray is making thousands of dollars on his songs. At Draper's insistence, Minnie is sent for to facilitate Spec's composing, but when the cow arrives, Gray has her removed to thwart Draper's efforts. When Spec calls the police on a cow-kidnapping charge, Gilbert intercedes as Spec's lawyer and, in the presence of the police, threatens to sue Draper for breach of contract. Draper agrees to give fifty percent of the songs' profits to Spec and Minnie.
