With new New York pal Tony (Harry Guardino, and date Valerie Allen) and his own blind date Willa (Barbara Bel Geddes), cornet player Red Nichols (Danny Kaye) from Utah, unfamiliar with the ways of the 1920's speakeasy, gets a look at Louis Armstrong, mentioned so-far only as a new player from New Orleans, who plays then sings, two standards, in The Five Pennies, 1959.
