The plot revolves around Sugar, a honey of a blonde, a tempting chanteuse in an all-girl band and just the one to melt a musician’s heart. She attacks the job with zest when the manager asks her to show the ropes to Josephine, the new tenor saxophone player. What Sugar doesn’t know is that Josephine and Daphne, the new bass player, are really red-blooded males, hiding behind wigs and wiggles to escape Chicago gangsters pursuing them as witnesses to a gangland slaying.
