In this musical, the second entry in a five-film series, a thrift shop owner
sells his business and buys a small time radio station. He begins looking
for sponsors. He finds one with a department store owner who will only
lend him the money if he will allow his daughter, an aspiring tap-dancer
and singer, to perform on the air. This is unfortunate as she is tone-deaf.
To compensate, the owner hires a real singer to dub the daughter's
voice. The singer and the owner's nephew fall in love and mayhem
ensues. Songs include: the Oscar nominated "Who Am I?," "Swing Low
Sweet Rhythm," "In The Cool of the Evening," "Make Yourself at Home,"
"The Swap Shop Song," "The Trading Post," "Sally," "Ramona," "Sweet
Sue," "Dinah," "Margie," and "Mary Lou."
