In this WW II musical, a young man suddenly finds himself in charge of his family when his father is called to war. To help the flagging spirits of local factory workers, the plucky lad, his siblings and his schoolmates put on a lively little show. With a little work, he even convinces Count Basie to come with his band.

El hijo de un oficial de la Marina se pone al frente de la familia, dirige el esfuerzo bélico y monta un espectáculo musical para elevar la moral de los trabajadores.
