Danny Churchill (Mickey Rooney) is the life of the party. His publisher father is not happy with all the news coverage and sends him to a remote mining college. There is supposedly no girls around but he encounters Ginger Gray (Judy Garland) fixing her car in the middle of nowhere.
Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland may be the perfect Hollywood pairing. They would do only one more after this one. They have such easy chemistry. It's a match made in heaven. Their first meeting at the broken down car is the perfect encapsulation of that chemistry. She is adorable and he is energetic. The music is George Gershwin. In the real world, single gal Judy Garland by herself would not have a moment of peace, and she wouldn't have to lift a finger. It's a light comedy, light story, and light in general. It's a lot of songs and plenty of dance. That's what a wartime audience needed at that time.
