A larger part in the film was apparently originally written in for Red Rodney, but in the end he only appeared as a member of the band.
Synopsis
Agent Ralph Edwards and band leader Phillip Terry are trying to get their swing orchestra back together after the war, but they need dough, and their meal ticket is young Frances Langford from the sticks, who wants to take lessons to sing opera. The guys concoct an elaborate ruse to pretend Terry’s a married opera coach, but he falls for Frannie and how; and she has a secret of her own: she really prefers singin’ pop to opera. With the help of Gene Krupa and his band, everything’ll work out in the end.
