Entertainer Jack Martin (Danny Kaye) is performing on the Riviera and is the look-alike of French aviation hero Henri Duran (also played by Danny Kaye). Jack is persuaded to stand in for Henri at an important party, and the comedy of mistaken identities begins–especially when he is approached by women in the aviator's life (though he is married). Lots of good music and Danny Kaye gags.
