Jimmy Stewart reluctantly leaves his family's small-town music store and moves to the city to help his rich Uncle Charlie run a factory there. The factory's across the street from Mrs. McCorkle's boarding house, a property the old man would like to acquire to expand his manufacturing base, and Jimmy's barely had time to set down his suitcase before he's moved into the boarding house, jammed with the house band, made the acquaintance of Mrs. McCorkle's feisty daughter (Paulette Goddard), and pitched a ripe tomato that lands splat in Uncle Charlie's face. Now he's in real trouble, but look, he's Jimmy Stewart, right? You just know things are going to work out okay in the end. A homey, unpretentious musical comedy. Stewart does some singing and plays the harmonica, but the show-stopper is Goddard's eye-catching, cross-dressing production number, "Broadway Caballero".
