Dale Evans' career as a radio singer had gone nowhere in New York, but she found success on the West Coast. Now she's back in New York under a fake name to keep things quiet. She hopes to find a Broadway show to appear in , and sometimes boyfriend Jerome Cowan has something in mind. Broadway producer William Frawley has offered him the co-lead and ten per cent of the profits if he can land her. But in the meantime, she falls in love with aspiring song writer Stanley Brown, whose friend is a waiter and aspiring playwright Al Pearce. But no one takes Pearce seriously.
Miss Evans had already begun clicking in Roy Rogers westerns, but management at Republic had higher hopes for her, and this musical is one of the results. There's some big talent in small roles, like Maude Eburne and Joyce Compton to cover a pleasantly cynical view of Broadway. There are also some good musical numbers written by Walter Kent and Kim Gannon to garner an Academy Award nomination for Best Scoring. While it lacks the polish of a major studio, this black-and-white musical comedy is a fun way to spend 74 minutes.
