Howard Hawks and RKO combine to make a MGM musical but fails as this musical lacks pow wow even though Busby Berkeley did some choreography.
Janet Leigh plays Nancy Peterson who leaves her small home town of Pelican Falls to go to New York and make it big on Broadway. She bumps into three out of work showgirls who were on tour with a flop show and now try to get back to New York and they want to give their agent a piece of their mind for leaving them stranded.
The sleazy agent is Lew (Eddie Bracken) who always ducking and diving. He promises a lot and delivers little. He wants to keep hold of his number one talent Dan Carter (Tony Martin) from quitting show business by promising him that he will get him a spot on a television show with musician Bob Crosby but it is more lies. Carter meets Peterson over a suitcase mix up and he teaches her not be taken in by shysters but he himself gets roped in by his agent's outlandish schemes.
The film drags despite a few bright song and dance numbers from the showgirls. A lot of the songs are a dull and the deli store owners and their shtick is interminable.
