Judy O'Brien is an aspiring ballerina in a dance troupe. Also in the company is Bubbles, a brash mantrap who leaves the struggling troupe for a career in burlesque. When the company disbands, Bubbles gives Judy a thankless job as her stooge. The two eventually clash when both fall for the same man.

For a person with the name bubbles she really sucks

Maybe it's because I watched House by the River before this but I could not stand Louis Hayward's character to the point where it prevented me from fully enjoying this. Lucille Ball and Maureen O'Hara were both great and I enjoyed their interactions. I wasn't a huge fan of the ending either, but it was much better than what it could have been.
