Alice Faye, Patsy Kelly and Frances Lanford are "The Swanee Sisters," and their friends and co-workers think they're pretty good. They use the boss' dictaphone to make a demo tape, but they get caught in that act and fired. Out of work, they decide it's as good a time as any to pursue their entertainment career. At a local talent contest, they meet up with band-leader, George Raft, who has his own band. They win at last.
However, the girls lose the prize money to band-leader. But they team up with him, and become "The Three Swanee Sisters". The girls soon become radio's singing sensation appearing on the air every night at eight. As time goes by, Langford as Susan has fallen in love with the "all work and no play"-George Raft as Cardova - but fails to realize this until after the team take a temporary walk out. Nevertheless, they come back by the end after he realizes he isn't any good without the girls vocalizing him, and save him from starting to fall.
That’s all for the movie. But who can forget one of the unforgettable songs. I bring for you here….right below!
