After the audition, Ansel agrees to offer the group ten scholarships, but informs the talented youngsters that there is still a minimum fee of twenty dollars per month. While the youngsters try to devise ways to raise the needed tuition money, Carol's snobbish spinster aunt Martha sets up trust funds for both her absentminded brother Malcolm and Carol from the family's vast real estate holdings. Meanwhile, teenagers Billy Harper and Corny Panatowski come up with the idea of opening a nightclub to raise the tuition money, and Carol offers to help them find a hall in which to house it. Learning of the youngsters' plights, Malcolm suggests that they convert the empty Curtis Hall into a nightclub, something he had been considering doing himself with band leader Freddie Slack. Knowing that his sister would never agree to such an idea, Malcolm convinces Martha that he needs the empty building as a studio for his oil painting. After a great deal of hard work, "Chez Enfants" prepares for its grand opening, but Carol is upset by the return of blonde bombshell Fern Wallace, her rival for Billy's affections.
