Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this musical, the vocalist and her chamber music quintet lose their job when a conniving manager of a rival orchestra manages to con the nightclub owner to book his group instead by telling him that his vocalist is heir to a fortune and that the owner can get a share of the inheritance by allowing them to play. To expose his deception, the quintet's singer poses as a chambermaid. Soon all wrongs are righted and peace is restored.
