While vacationing at a boys' camp, the rambunctious Chip Winters befriends a famed composer Johnny Selden. Stuck for an inspiration for his latest operetta, Selden at last finds it when he meets Chip's gorgeous mother Irene Winters, a popular singer. Alas, her stiff-necked fiancé Walter Mays refuses to allow her to return to the stage, whereupon Rathbone spirals into a depression -- and even worse, a profound case of writers' block.

This is quite a curious little film with Basil Rathbone ("Johnny") as a composer who takes a cabin near a boys summer camp. There he encounters an engaging, outgoing, bunch of young boys who inspire him to overcome his writer's block and pen a blockbuster musical.

s. He can certainly sing, and his mischief in trying to set up his widowed mother with the composer is charming and at times quite ingenious. It's suffers a little from being rather statically staged but Oscar Strauss and Paul Francis Webster's lyric is worth of a show of it's own and there's an innocence about the whole thing that is actually quite endearing. Not great, a wee bit sentimental - but worth watching, nonetheless.
