    Danny (Fred Astaire) and Hank (Burgess Meredith) are trumpet players in their college band, The O'Neill's Perennials. Always short of money they meet Ellen (Paulette Goddard) in a debt collectors office and offer her a job as their new band manager. Whilst Danny and Hank compete for Ellen's affections they also vie for a job in Artie Shaw's band. Great big band music from Artie Shaw.
