Plot:
Old-time musical star Schyler Jarvis, now wealthy, is dying; his last act is a visionary plan for the future happiness of his son, swing bandleader Louis Jarvis, and Honey Carter, daughter of his long-lost love. But crooked lawyer Talbot has a nefarious scheme to get his hands on the Jarvis money…and it doesn’t include any happiness for Louis and Honey. Plenty of swing from Louis Jordan’s Tympany Five.
