Was this a humorous musical or a musical comedy? Maybe geriatric twist? A small club proprietor(Louis Prima)and his jazz band, led by Sam Butera are having a hard time making a go of their night spot. They turn to the popular new dance craze,the Twist,in hopes of success. Along the way, Prima spoils an art theft scheme.
Also in this little film are Gertrude Michael, Ty Perry and June Wilkinson, whose claim to fame is being a former Playboy magazine Playmate. She at one time was married to pro football player Dan Pastorini.
You can't say that the music in this movie was ever a real hit, but did resemble Lawrence Welk trying to play Hip-Hop.
