The Benny Goodman Band is playing in Chicago when a kid is spotted stealing
Benny's clarinet. He's trailed by the King of Swing himself Jack Oakie one of the band members. The young thief has a brother who plays a mean trombone and
is played by James Cardwell.
Socialite Linda Darnell also takes a liking to Cardwell. But he has a chip on his shoulder about just everything.
But this film is about the music of Benny Goodman and you get a lot of that. Goodman is no actor, then again Cardwell comes across as churlish and stiff.
This one is for those who love their WW2 era swing.
