A gleefully absurd screwball comedy that uses cross-dressing, mistaken identity, and romantic entanglement to create sustained laughter and charm.
In Prohibition-era Chicago, musicians Joe and Jerry witness a mob hit, and flee the state in an all-female band disguised as Josephine and Daphne, but further complications set in.
