Meant primarily as TV fare, this standard, song-filled romantic drama stars
Louis Prima as himself, and his real-life wife Keely Smith as Dorothy
Spencer, a devout woman with a good singing voice. Dorothy is active in
her local parish which like all parishes, is constantly thinking of ways to
raise funds. One of the needy projects is a boys' camp, so when Dorothy
is approached by Louis Prima to sing with his band she agrees only on
one condition -- that he perform a concert benefit for the parish church
and boys' camp. The interactions between Dorothy and Prima lead toward
romance and a happy ending, as well as a popular album with the same
title song featured in this film.
