Betty Grable sings and dances her way from a small high school in Oakland to the vaudeville halls of San Francisco and New York in this colorful slice of Americana. Betty marries her on-stage partner Dan Dailey, then abruptly quits to raise their children. It becomes a little too plot-heavy at this point, as the story turns to her daughter's teenage romance and clashes with wealthy socialites who don't approve of their lifestyle. It all gets worked out, with songs and dancing, of course.
