Warning: Spoilers
Dane Clark is Joe Fingers, a Marine who passes his days by bragging to his camp buddies about his popularity in the music scene. But when they find him backing down from a piano, the guys treat him like an outcast. However, when Janis Page's Kim Karol stops in the trenches to sing, Joe Fingers is put on the spot.

********SPOILER ALERT***************** Joe Fingers really CAN play the piano, and really DID carve Kim Karol into what she was in 1944. **************************************

This won the 1944 Oscar for best Short (2-Reelers). It was pretty well written despite it's obscureness.
