Ozzie Nelson and His Orchestra, and pianist Bob Saunders, are on the 7-year college plan and happy to flunk out again if they can make it to 8. They'd rather spend their evenings jamming at Pops' (Shemp Howard) soda shop. Bob's father has had enough, and sends his son out west to the family's Circle S Health Ranch to learn business management from the resort's officious and prissy manager Mr. Cathcart (Franklin Pangborn). Bob decides that Ozzie, the band and Pops, should go with him and turn the Circle S into a jumping success. The neighboring Arizona Ranch, run by Sally Monroe, is going out of business. Bob falls in love with Sally, and when he learns that he can't change his father's ideas, the orchestra and Pops head for the Arizona with plans to turn it into a country swing nightclub. Pops takes on the job of convincing (or, conning) a cantankerous rancher (Leon Errol) to sponsor a radio broadcast for the Nelson band.
Shemp Howard costars as Pops, and steals every scene he's in (which is most of them), even upstaging Leon Errol.
