In Lenny Bruce's early years, before he became famous, he was just an ordinary comedian who fell in love with a stripper named Honey. Despite the objections of his manager Artie and mother, Lenny insisted on marrying Honey and clashed with his boss over his desire to perform in his own style, resulting in his dismissal. At this time, Honey was hospitalized due to an injury, and during his visit, Lenny had a flirtatious encounter with a nurse, which led to a quarrel with Honey when she found out.
