Released August 30, 1935
Featuring Ted Healy (Solo)
MGM
85.5 min. (Feature Film)

Bickering best friends Happy and Pete (Ted Healy and Nat Pendleton), while working at Mr. Scurry's (Charles Lane) cab company, dream of hitting the big time playing clarinet and piccolo in a dance orchestra. They may have hit their break by discovering singer Ollie Watts, whose original tunes, derived from middle American folklore, strike a chord with listeners.

Ollie falls in love with Margaret Jones, who is actually socialite Margaret Wallace, the daughter of Happy's and Pete's World War I commander Col. Wallace. Coincidentally, playing at Wallace's society ball is another member of the old Army company, the famous orchestra leader Ted Lowry (Ted Lewis). When Ollie's song is stolen by unscrupulous agent Mr. Simmons and becomes a # 1 radio hit, Ollie falls into depression and hits skid row. Happy and Pete enlist the help of Margaret and Lowry to find Ollie, and take Simmons to court to prove the real composer.
