Plot

This Broadway revue is about two love affairs. The romance between the comedian Joan Mason and Jack Evans of Boston is easily disturbed by Jack's cynical sister, Clarabelle Evans, who is against their relationship. The romance between the wealthy British Jill Martin and Tom McGrath, the assistant to Broadway impresario George White, is a love-hate relationship. Gene Krupa and his band, together with the virtuoso organist Ethel Smith, keep both couples dancing a lot.
