In 1957, the cast and crew of "The Lester Guy Show" are preparing for their first live television broadcast on the Zoblotnick Broadcasting Co. network.

Meanwhile, producer Dwight McGonigle discovers Betty's talent and brings her onto the show, but Lester continues to plot against her. While rehearsing for the broadcast, tensions run high, personalities clash and accidents occur. Despite the chaos, the cast and crew must work together to put on a successful show for the American public who adores Betty Hudson. David Lynch directed only two of the seven episodes.
