Talks Vivian Martin, Hutchins' secretary to share her apartment with Martha while he tries to find her a job. Martha finds a job at a nightclub, but conditions are so bad that she quits.

Later, when Doug hears Martha singing to Freddie, he realizes that her strength is ballads, not jazz. Doug sells Vivian's sports car to get the money for Martha to audition on the radio.
Unfortunately, Hofer misses Martha's amazing performance.

Later, Gary arranges for Martha to attend a party where she can perform for potential clients. But Gary and Doug get into fight, and Martha loses another opportunity.
