A friendly gangster gains control of a record company, then buys off famous stars to get them to make records. A romantic subplot has the company secretary falling in love with its main star, who croons love songs, only to see him get used as bait to woo a coveted opera singer. Fluffy nonsense, but some great performances by Cab Calloway, Ted Lewis, Kay Thompson and even Joe DiMaggio.
