Storyline A famous bandleader, suffering from overwork and exhaustion, goes to a
sanitarium for a rest. While there he dreams of being out west at a dude
ranch, where he finds himself involved in the beautiful owner's
struggle to keep her ranch from falling into the hands of the villain,
who wants either her or her ranch (or, preferably, both).
Storyline Bob Jordan is an aspiring songwriter with a melody stuck in his head.
Naive in the ways of love, he's having some trouble writing the lyrics
for his would-be hit. Barbara, a fellow musician and secret admirer,
helps him finish the romantic ballad. "Cinderella" becomes an instant
smash, and as Jordan's career takes off, lovelorn Barbara can only watch
as her man slips away. Fame is a fickle thing, though, and Bob's
flirtation with the fast life is short. Loveless and jobless, his agent
has a brilliant idea to get his career back on track - a Cinderella
contest. The gimmick is simple; at Jordan's next show, every available
woman in the audience will bring a single slipper. The owner of the
slipper that Bob selects will be invited upstage to join him in
performing a duet of his signature song. The big night arrives, and
Barbara happens to be in the audience. Will he finally make the right
choice?
Storyline Old-time musical star Schyler Jarvis, now
wealthy, is dying; his last act is a visionary plan for the future
happiness of his son, swing bandleader Louis Jarvis, and Honey Carter,
daughter of his long-lost love. But crooked lawyer Talbot has a
nefarious scheme to get his hands on the Jarvis money...and it doesn't
include any happiness for Louis and Honey. Plenty of swing from Louis
Jordan's Tympany Five.
