Gumley has contracted the disease, and he and Dot are trying to raise money to pay for an operation, but they are unsuccessful. A kangaroo named DozeyDosey suggests that Dot goes to Hollywood, where she will be able to raise the money in no time.
In [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]], Dot meets many [[Celebrity|famous people]] and goes to an audition, which she hopes will lead to earning some money.
