Jean (Anise Boyer) is in town wanting a job, she meets up with Money Johnson (James Baskett) who offers her one, and he can as he is the rich man in town. Unfortunately those riches are from the proceeds of crime...
Johnson says he is nice to people who are loyal and Jean is loyal for now. She gets drawn into Johnson's criminal doings but soon wants out, but doing so ain't easy... maybe Bill Robinson can help her out.
Well that is more or less what it is about, the story isn't really all that. Some of the acting is fun though. As a "black" film in the 1930s the black actors get to act in normal roles and not the usual ridiculous stereotypes in contemporary Hollywood fare. The best bit is the dancing and music though, its worth watching just for that.
