Dick Haymes composes sentimental ballads in turn-of-the-century Cleveland. He is promptly thrown out of a music conservatory and left broke. He meets chorus girl June Haver, mistaking her for someone else, and they fall in love at first sight. However, she decides to go to New York City to advance her career, leaving Haymes behind. He earns money in a boxing challenge and soon is in New York himself working for a music publisher. His songs become nationwide sensations and he becomes popular and wealthy. Searching for Haver the whoe time, he finally accidentally meets her working as a hat check girl, and after a few mistarts and misunderstandings resume their romance. Anthony Quinn and Monty Woolley are a couple of bored socialites trying to outdo each other in bets. Other than the songs, pretty forgettable.
