Sometimes it seemed that Fox had a patent on musicals set at the turn of the century with a plot that consisted of the two male leads constantly double crossing each other and/or pulling gags that were often as not kidding on the level; in some cases they were trying to get control of a business, often a club/theatre, and sometimes they were trying to beat the other's time with a woman and sometimes it was both at once. This is no exception with a back story that saw Cesar Romero con George Montgomery out of several grand. Now Romero is in the chips and owner of a profitable club in Coney Island. Montgomery turns up demanding a piece of the action and is brushed off, paving the way for a string of set ups. Caught in the middle is Betty Grable, a singer in Romero's club who both have eyes for. That's all there is to it except that this rivalry is punctuated by song and dance, some old, some new. If you like this sort of thing this is the sort of thing you'll like.
