Bobby Breen attends a summer camp in Maine. They swim in the lake and take horseback rides, but mostly sing songs. He befriends songwriter Basil Rathbone who is trying to write an operetta at his county getaway near the camp. Coincidentally, Breen's mom is a former stage singer engaged to a controlling man who forbids her to sing in public any more. Pretty soon Rathbone is taking her out on the lake in his canoe and writing his final act for her. It culminates in a splashy Broadway production. Obvious and ridiculous.
