This is one of those movies where you roll your eyes on just about everything, since nothing is believable. Still it's Mickey and Judy and it's fun to watch.
Teenage drummer Jimmy Connors (Mickey Rooney) dreams of winning the contest for school bands hosted by popular band leader Paul Whiteman (himself). In order to enter, Jimmy and his pals, including vocalist Mary Holden (Judy Garland), must accumulate $200 for the train ride to Chicago, where the contest will be held. Jimmy and his friends decide to put on an epic student play to raise the funds they need, but a sudden illness threatens to cost the band their chance.
The high school play is hilarious. There must be 1,000 in the audience and the costumes would cost a fortune...and there is no question about whether or not Busby Berkley choreographed it!
