Plot

Kay Kyser (Kay Kyser) and his band get back to North Carolina after a long USO visit. Rather than taking a rest, the band plays at a close by shipyard. There, Kay meets Julie Carver (Ann Miller), a fabulous vocalist whom Kay botches for the shipyard proprietor's little girl. Kay's standard vocalist, Georgia Carroll (Georgia Carroll), needs Julie to fill in for her so she can leave the band and get hitched. Kay concurs simply after Julie can bait a well off comparative with their show.
