The incredibly talented Mickey Rooney sings, dances and does three superb impersonations of stars people today probably don't know that well: Clark Gable and Lionel Barrymore (Mark Anthony and Cleopatra's 'uncle' in the rehearsal) and Eddy Cantor (singing 'Ida' in the minstrel show).
A group of vaudevillians struggling to compete with talkies hits the road hoping for a comeback. Frustrated to be left behind, all of their kids put on a show themselves to raise money for the families and to prove they've got talent, too.
