Three girl -- Patsy Kelly, Frances Langford, and Alice Faye make a play for a career as a singing trio by going on Walter Catlett's amateur hour show. They miss, but the winning act, George Raft and his band, hire them and eventually get a rich radio contract, billing them as 'The Swanee Sisters.' Raft is all business, which annoys them, particularly Miss Langford.
Despite the talent in front of the camera, and director Raoul Walsh, it's a fairly standard musical, with a ridiculous variety show during the Catlett segment. What makes this stand out are the Jimmy McHugh-Dorothy Field songs, including "I Feel A Song Coming On" and the standout number, Miss Langford introducing "I'm In The Mood For Love". Songwriter Harry Barris ("Mississippi Mud", "I Surrender Dear") demonstrates a fine voice.
