When her nightclub singer boyfriend Vince Nichols (Dennis Morgan) won’t give up his gambling, Abby (Lucille Norman) joins vaudeville partners Carol (Virginia Mayo) and June (Virginia Gibson) – “The Dillon Sisters” – on a trek to Las Vegas, searching for millionaires to marry.
The girls are followed by playboy Ted Lansing (Gene Nelson), who has a big crush on Abby.
When the girls learn that Uncle Felix Hoff (“Cuddles” Sakall) is going broke with his casino (the Golden Egg), Abby accepts Ted because of his wealth.
Arriving to halt the nuptials is Ted’s banker cousin from Boston, Bennington (Tom Conway), and an irate Vince.
Songs include When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, With a Song in My Heart, Tiptoe Through the Tulips, Birth of the Blues, We’re In The Money and The Mambo Man (performed on the largest glass floor ever used in a film).
Director David Butler later said of his Technicolor musical, “That was the worst of the whole bunch I made. I thought it was terrible, and I think the audience agreed with me.”
