Mobster Mama McGann is about to be caught red handed while robbing a bank, but she manages to escape with the help of the naive songwriter Bob Gunther, who is clueless about the robbery. Since Mama has already stolen Bob's wallet during their very brief encounter, she is struck by guilt and decides to return the wallet as thanks for his help. Her son, Sonny McGann, is ordered to return the wallet and hand over a small reward to Bob. Sonny is not what you would call a typical gangster, having far too much artistic blood flowing in his veins. Instead of dreaming of inheriting Mama's business, he yearns to become a poet. He decides to create a song to his childhood sweetheart Sadie, a woman he hasn't met for ages, and in need of a songwriter, he kidnaps Bob to help him out. When Bob has finished writing the tune to Sonny's lyrics, and the song is recorded, Sonny forces the local radio stations and music stores to play it, threatening them with his henchmen. Bob tries to get away from Sonny by speaking his language, and pretends to be lovesick. He names a singer, Magda Delys, as the subject of his strong emotions instead of his real girlfriend Linda Carroll. Sonny decides to help out by forcing Magda to marry Bob, and arranges for a ceremony to take place. Before the wedding, Bob is kidnapped again, this time by Sonny's rival Big Foot Louie. Sonny tries to rescue Bob on his own, but when he gets to Louie's, Bob is already writing a love song for the gangster. Sonny and Louie start discussing a truce, and a possible musical business venture together, while Bob is forced by Sonny's goons to marry Magda. When Sonny comes back and interrupts the "ceremony" he finds that Magda in fact is his old school sweetheart Sadie. A double wedding is arranged, where Sonny marries Sadie, and Bob marries Linda., 1h10

A post-World War II feel-good movie, It Happened in Brooklyn begins in England at the end of the war. Danny Miller (Sinatra) is with a group of GIs awaiting transportation home to the US. On his last night there, he meets Jamie Shellgrove (Lawford), who is a very shy young man whose father feels should be taken under someone's wing. After observing Miller come to his son's aid at the piano, he asks Danny to speak with his son, to give him "some words of encouragement". In order to look good in front of the nurse (Gloria Grahame), he agrees, even going so far as to saying what would really fix Jamie up would be for him to come to Brooklyn. As he rushes out to catch his transport to the docks for the voyage home, Danny discovers that Jamie is really the heir to a duke. Upon Danny's return to Brooklyn, the film revolves around characters realizing their dreams of escaping working-class drudgery: in Sinatra's case to become a singer/musician rather than a shipping clerk, in Lawford's case to break out of his extreme shyness to gain a wife and a career as a songwriter, and in Grayson's case to break out of her schoolteaching job to star in the opera (although this last is not shown coming to pass, but she presumably lives happily ever after as she is brought to England as the fiancée of the Lawford character, who is heir to a dukedom). The film's tagline was "Happy songs! Happy stars! Happy romance!". Lawford dances while singing a song, a performance that was particularly well received by both critics and public, outshining future fellow Rat Pack member Sinatra. One highlight of the film is seeing and hearing Sinatra and Grayson singing "Là ci darem la mano" from Mozart's 1787 opera Don Giovanni.
