The show's stage manager Jack Ellery (Jack Oakie) calls his friend, police Lt. Bill Burdock (Victor McLaglen), to investigate. The show continues, and Murdock–between musical numbers–works to find the murderer before the end of the show. Songs include "Marijuana," "Where Do They Come from Now," and "Cocktails for Two."
