New York City
With hopes as big as the Empire State Building, sweet, fresh-faced Ruby departs Utah (with tap shoes in toe) for the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple with her pie-eyes fixed on one thing: Broadway! But when Ruby stumbles upon a sailor named Dick, an aspiring songwriter who happens to be from her hometown, the love bug bites her and her hoofing ambitions take a zany turn. Ruby lands a chorus part in a new Broadway show but a stuck-up star also has goo-goo eyes for Dick. Then there’s trouble on opening night in the kooky, Busby Berkley-esque extravaganza Dames at Sea.
