A cigar girl (Ruth Terry) who wants to be a vocalist receives help from her rascally uncle (Alan Mowbray). Robert Livingston. Mona: Adrian Booth. Lovelace: Franklin Pangborn. Mrs. Whitmore: Isabel Randolph. Ed: Tom Dugan. Al: George Chandler. Frank McDonald directed.

Terry is cast as a cigarette girl with singing aspirations who tries to get bandleader Livingston to lend an ear. She doesn't have a puff of success until her uncle Mowbray shows up. He pretends to be a colonel and secures a solo for his niece. Their fraud is found out, but by then it's too late; Livingston's already fallen for her. Songs: "Tell It to a Star" (Shirley Botwin), "Love Me or Leave Me" (Gus Kahn, Walter Donaldson), "You're So Good to Me" (Sammy Cahn, Jule Styne), "A Batucada Corazon" (Ary Barroso, danced by Miranda).
