Film Description

Musical comedy about a young man who opens a nightclub, much to the chagrin of his rich father. Hoping to force his son into taking up the family business, the father arranges for the club to be shut down, but can't break the news to the son himself, so he pays a struggling singer $50 to go to the club and clue him in. However, the go-between forgets all about this once Danny finds out she's a singer and gives her a regular gig at his club. Soon the two fall in love and have to figure out a way to keep the rich father happy. Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five perform Caldonia and Don't Worry About That Mule.
