Dancer Tallulah Winters (Eleanor Powell) is duped by enemy spies into transporting a stolen prototype mine to Puerto Rico via boat. Onboard, she falls in love with writer Merton Kibble (Red Skelton).
This attempt to combine a spy story with a musical doesn't work very well. Powell is charming as always, and gets some fantastic dance scenes, particularly the "I'll Take Tallulah" number. Red Skelton is good, and I liked Bert Lahr as Skelton's friend. Also watch out for an uncredited Frank Sinatra crooning a couple tunes.
All in all, this was an enjoyable film, mainly because of the dance scenes. First time viewing. 3/5
