A small radio station in Brooklyn, WPX, is saved from going bankrupt by a backer (Mary Boland), who agrees to invest money for television equipment if the owner (Kenny Baker) allows her dancing daughter Annabelle (Ann Miller) to dance and sing on the screen. Due to her voice, her singing needs to be dubbed by the owner's girlfriend, Pat Abbott (Frances Langford). Problems arise when the owner starts dating Annabelle.
Music by Jule Styne, lyrics by Walter Bullock
