Robert Fulton's steamboat invention serves as a backdrop for romance between Alice Faye and her suitors. The Fulton story is far more interesting, but unfortunately the film places the romance front and center. She courts Fulton by selling kegs of rum on the side and investing in his shipbuilding plans. He's really interested in the more well-to-do daughter of a financier. Fulton must deal with saboteurs and a constant lack of money to get his revolutionary steamboat built.
