At the Davis School of the Theatre, run by Jeremy Taswell, where teenagers study drama and the serious arts, instructors Johnny Hanley and Alice Taswell are in love. The students, including Donald, Patricia, and Peggy, secretly want to become singers. Patricias aunt, Mrs. Davis, who owns the school, disapproves. Donald has written a musical comedy for the years class play, which the students want to do; but Mrs. Davis has selected and insists they do Sophocles Antigone. Taswell agrees to let the kids do Donalds show. Donald manages to keep Mrs. Davis away on the day of the show, and when Broadway producers in attendance rave about Donalds play, she becomes a backer.
