FOR THE SWINGTIME OF YOUR LIFETIME! with the screen's newest sweethearts of song and romance!

The film is partly a parody of The Goodwill Court, a popular radio problem hosted by advice-dispenser "Mr. Anthony".

The fly in the ointment is Dena Marshall (Janis Carter), who has set her sights on the handsome Rich.
