 The
StoryAn acting troupe receives news that a great British Impresario John Linley, is available to conduct a film test of the group in Portland. The dances are ready, the actors are ready and so are the songs - and shortly they are off to Portland. It is also a homecoming for Fred who grew up in Portland, but much to his grandmother's disappointment, he has left the banana fields of Portland to take up a clerk's work in Kingston all the while writing music and skits for the troupe. The troupe which includes Celia, who delights in boasting about her travels overseas, the unhappily married Monique; Rosa who has returned from England lovesick and their biggest supporter Aunt Hannah. Rounding out the group are playboys Norman and Ben who compete for Celia's affection. On their arrival in Portland much excitement happens, and after great confusion the troupe impresses John Linley and dreams become reality.
