While vacationing at a boys' camp, the rambunctious Chip Winters befriends a famed composer Johnny Selden. Stuck for an inspiration for his latest operetta, Selden at last finds it when he meets Chip's gorgeous mother Irene Winters, a popular singer. Alas, her stiff-necked fiancé Walter Mays refuses to allow her to return to the stage, whereupon Rathbone spirals into a depression -- and even worse, a profound case of writers' block.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bobby Breen was a huge child star who retired at 16, became a talent agent, and basically vanished from public life.
This was Basil Rathbone's attempt to escape typecasting as villains—Hollywood said 'nice try' and made him Sherlock Holmes next year anyway.
