Corinne Griffith is Syncopating Sue in this jazz-age romp. Hoping to become a famous musical comedy star, Sue Adams takes a job as a pianist in a Broadway music score. She soon finds a kindred spirit in the form of aspiring jazz drummer Eddie Murphy (Tom Moore). The usual misunderstandings separate the couple, but in the final reel Eddie proves his devotion to Sue by jumping off the side of a ship and swimming to shore -- and her waiting arms. Veteran Broadway actress Marjorie Rambeau makes a guest appearance as "herself." Syncopating Sue was originally filmed under the title Tin Pan Alley.
