| Description: | The plot, what there was of it, involved dance partners Johnny Brett (Fred Astaire) and King Shaw (George Murphy). They were performing at a second-rate dance pavilion when Johnny is discovered by a Broadway scout. By accident, King shows up for the rehearsal and gets a job performing with star Clare Bennett (Eleanor Powell), whom Johnny has a crush on. On opening night, King is drunk and Johnny fills in for him. This leads to a riff between the two friends, but King realizes that Johnny belongs in the show, so he fakes being sick and Johnny fills in and is a hit. |
