Bandleader Jack Conrad is impressed by prison inmate Ray Ferrera on saxophone. Conrad hires Ray to join his band and tour upon his release. Ray hooks up with Jean, a dancer in the show, and the two become a successful dance act. However, when an ex-inmate buddy of Ray's robs the tour bus, Ray is suspected of wrongdoing by Jack and the others in the group. After a gang of thugs hijacks the tour bus, Ray tries to use his street smarts to redeem his reputation.—Gary Jackson <[email protected]>

Ray Ferrera, star saxophonist in the prison orchestra, gets out and is hired by big-bandleader Jack Conrad; the band leaves on a cross-country tour in Jack's luxurious, airplane-shaped bus. At first, all goes well for Ray: he replaces drunken Ted Webb as star Jean Loring's dancing partner (and lover). But old associations get Ray in trouble when the band is victimized by gangsters. The finale is a classic careening car chase.—Rod Crawford <[email protected]>
