Bandleader Carroll leads The Coquettes, an all-female band, in several swing tunes.

In this pre-war short, and there were many all-girl bands in the 1930s. However Frances Carroll and her all-girl orchestra, the Coquettes, play several numbers, with Miss Carroll on the vocals, using a bandstand setting. Drummer Viola Smith does a special turn, and there is a tap-dance by Eunice Healy.
