  Set in Kansas City during Prohibition, this film recreates the jazz age and all the elements that made up the Roaring 20s. World War I veteran Pete Kelly (Jack Webb) plays his trumpet and performs with his jazz band while romancing socialite Ivy Conrad (Janet Leigh). But, life is not easy in the days of Prohibition, and Pete endures frequent confrontations with mob boss Fran McCarg (Edmond O'Brien)–culminating in a shootout at the nightclub.

Mickey is still a studCandy Kane 01/28/2007 
  A slim story made watchable by the gorgeous stud Mickey Hargitay who lifts weights and takes his shirt off as well as his idiotic but busty wife Jayne Mansfield who takes EVERYTHING off in this film. I prefer Mickey's tits to Jayne's.
