Gangster's moll Honey Swanson goes into hiding when her boyfriend is under investigation by the police. Where better to hide than a musical research institute staffed entirely by lonely bachelors? She gets more than she bargained for when the head of the institute Professor Hobart Frisbee starts to fall for her.

I sat down to watch this film last night -- it was good, but it started to seem a bit familiar. As time wore on I began to think to myself, "this is WAY too familiar. I think they're copying 'Ball of Fire.'" The moment Danny uttered "Make no mistake, I shall regret the absence of your keen mind; unfortunately, it is inseparable from an extremely disturbing body." I knew it was a steal-off from Ball of Fire. Again, it's a good movie, but I just hope they asked permission to copy Gary
