British musical comedy of the "Hey gang--lets put on a show!" variety. Plot sees a floundering concert party saved from financial ruin due to the combined efforts of a lonely spinster who invests some cash in the operation out of a sense of adventure, a schoolteacher who writes jazz tunes on the side, and a vastly talented chorus girl who rises to become the star of the show. Songs include, "Lucky For Me," "Three Wishes," and "Ill be Happy" (George Posford, Douglas Furber). (official distributor synopsis)
