Set at the turn of the century, smooth talking con man Eddie Johnson weasels his way into a job at friend and rival Joe Rocco's Coney Island night spot. Eddie meets the club's star attraction (and Joe's love interest), Kate Farley, a brash singer with a penchant for flashy clothes. Eddie and Kate argue as he tries to soften her image. Eventually, Kate becomes the toast of Coney Island and the two fall in love. Joe then tries to sabotage their marriage plans.

Fortunately, the chorus only sing the names of the three that share top billing here! Thereafter, we meet the loveable rogue that is “Eddie” (George Montgomery) who just wants what he thinks is rightfully due to him from his erstwhile partner “Joe” (Cesar Romero). This pal is about to open a new venue in which he will see “Kate” (Betty Grable) star - and has no intention of sharing! Out of options...
