A lighthearted screwball comedy built on mistaken identity and musical contrast, where confusion between two neighbors with the same name sparks romantic entanglement and comedic chaos.

Two apartment house dwellers, although unrelated, share the same name. One is an older man with an appreciation for and love of classical music, while the other is a younger man addicted to swing music. The niece of the older man arrives for a visit and gets into the wrong apartment. Complications arise.
