Some sort of war time comedy musical set at summer stock theater where the visiting performer has been killed two nights running. The police and theater group try to find a new act to fill the slot in the hope of getting the killer. They hire the Jolly Jesters,the Ritz Brothers and a kind of insanity ensues.
I'm not a Ritz Brothers fan. I can admire them and the shtick but I don't find them funny. Its clear why they got a contract, they are good at what they do, but its also clear why they never reached the stardom of the Marxes or the Stooges or anyone else, they are rather annoying (hence why more often then not they seemed to be in support rather than in the lead). This is a low rent film that is set mostly at the show and consists of acts, with the murderer clear from the first appearance-I mean they go out of the way to show you the guy and the weapon. Its an okay time killer but nothing I'd see again.
