The story of seven scholars in search of an expert to teach them about swing music. They seem to have found the perfect candidate in winsome nightclub singer Honey Swanson. But Honey's gangster boyfriend doesn't want to give her up.
Can seven stuffy academics truly master the unpredictable rhythms of swing jazz? This musical romp pits scholarly curiosity against a menacing gangster in a whirlwind of synchronized dancing and big band melodies.
