After losing the money they were supposed to use to finance their next big show, stage producers Morty Wethered (Osgood Perkins) and Tom Hugo (Charles D. Brown) plot to snuff out their aging partner, J.J. Hobart (Victor Moore), and collect on his $1 million life insurance policy. Directed by Lloyd Bacon, this 1930s-era classic features musical numbers created and directed by acclaimed choreographer and filmmaker Busby Berkeley.
