Sexy, wisecracking nightclub singer Sugarpuss O'Shea is a hot tomato who needs to be kept on ice: her mobster boyfriend, Joe Lilac, is suspected of murder and Sugarpuss' testimony could send him to jail. Naive Professor Bertram Potts encounters Miss O'Shea while researching slang for an article, leading to a collision of two very different worlds. When Miss O'Shea hides out with Potts and his fellow professors, everyone learns something new—the professors pick up dance moves like the cha-cha, and Potts discovers the true meaning of "yum-yum" in this classic romantic comedy.
