Danny Kaye is a nightclub impersonator who gets hired to impersonate a famous pilot to whom he has an uncanny resemblance. He attends a swanky party as the other man, fooling everyone including his wife. However, he can't fool his girlfriend, who schemes to get even with him. The real pilot shows up, confusing things even more. The conversation between Kaye the impersonator and the wife of the real pilot, who thinks they slept together, is quite an eyebrow raiser. Third remake of the predictable story is for Kaye aficionados only, others beware.
