Betty Grable vehicle set in the venerable New York amusement park at the turn of the century. Betty is a showgirl with aspirations for Broadway. She's the main attraction at a Coney Island saloon with an elaborate stage show and gets numerous opportunities to sing and dance. Cesar Romero and George Montgomery are old pals who like to double cross each other whenever given the chance. They compete for business and for Betty.
