When a pair of bumbling, out-of-work musicians accidentally witness the St. Valentine's Day 
gangster murders, they disguise themselves as women and join up with a travelling all-womens' 
band to escape the mobsters who are after them.

==========

Two struggling musicians witness the St. Valentine's Day Massacre and try to find a way out 
of the city before they are found and killed by the mob. The only job that will pay their way 
is an all girl band so the two dress up as women. In addition to hiding, each has his own 
problems; One falls for another band member but can't tell her his gender, and the other has 
a rich suitor who will not take "No," for an answer.

==========

Joe, the saxophone player, is Josephine in the all girls band that he joined with Jerry, the 
bass violin player, to be one step ahead of the mob after witnessing the 1929 St. Valentine's 
Day Massacre in Chicago. After a train ride that sets a record for number of people in an upper 
berth, they are In Miami. Joe decides to be the man of Sugar Kane's dreams and invites her out 
to a yacht he doesn't have. But he can use Osgood Fielding's yacht if Jerry -- as Daphne -- will 
keep Osgood dancing. The pace gets even giddier when the Chicago mob arrives in Miami for a 
convention.
