Mild-mannered Professor Hobart Frisbee (Danny Kaye) and his fellow academics, among them Professor Magenbruch (Benny Goodman), are writing a musical encyclopedia. In the process, they discover that there is some new popular music that is called jazz, swing, boogie woogie or rebop, introduced to them by two window washers Buck and Bubbles. The professors become entangled in the problems of nightclub singer Honey Swanson (Virginia Mayo). She needs a place to hide out from the police, who want to question her about her gangster boyfriend Tony Crow (Steve Cochran). She invites herself into their sheltered household, over Frisbee's objections. While there, she introduces them to the latest in jazz, with which they are unfamiliar, giving the film an excuse to feature many of the best musicians of the era. The songs they play include "A Song Is Born", "Daddy-O", "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You", "Flying Home", and "Redskin Rumba".

One volunteer who confesses to only becoming involved in the Canteen in order to be discovered by one of the Hollywood stars in attendance, ultimately finds herself falling in love with one of the soldiers.

La comédie et le film traitent, sur un mode burlesque, des us et coutumes des milieux du spectacle, du théâtre et du cinéma. Ole (Ole Olsen) et Chic (Chic Johnson) ont entrepris de tourner un film mais le producteur impose un coscénariste, Jeff. Ce dernier est amoureux de Kitty, future très riche héritière convoitée par Woody, un jeune homme fortuné. Parallèlement, Betty, la sœur de Chic, s'est éprise d'un prétendu aristocrate russe, un soi-disant comte qui est en fait un vrai prince russe mais se fait passer pour un aventurier. Quimby, un détective, vient se mêler aux divers quiproquos et en provoquer.
