Talented vaudeville family the Monahans have one very big problem in the form of patriarch Pete (Jack Oakie) : His heavy alcoholism has gotten the performing clan blacklisted from nearly every significant venue. With little choice but to break away from Pete, his children, Jimmy (Donald O'Connor) and Patsy (Peggy Ryan), devise their own act and take it on the road. The troupe enjoys some success, which motivates Pete to sober up. Hearing of their father's turnaround, they make plans to reunite.

Hackneyed vaudeville plot tied to some nice singing and dancing.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
