Tallulah Winters (Eleanor Powell) is a star dancer with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. They are boarding a cruise to Puerto Rico to perform. She is recruited by government agents to transport a model of a magnetic mine. Unbeknownst to her, they are Nazi agents trying to smuggle out the stolen prototype. They got the idea from a cheap magazine story written by Merton K. Kibble (Red Skelton) who happens to be going on the cruise.
This is a rather light weight wartime fare. The bit of espionage story is almost forgotten for much of the movie. This is really an excuse for some song and dance and some very light humor. In that sense, it may be more notable for a young Ole blue eyes Frank Sinatra doing some singing with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra. This is the earliest I have seen him. Apparently, he was in one earlier movie doing mostly the same thing with Tommy Dorsey. This is fine light weight entertainment during dire times.
