Billy Crocker is a stowaway in love with heiress Hope Harcourt, who is engaged to Lord Evelyn Oakleigh. Nightclub singer Reno Sweeney and Public Enemy Number 13, “Moonface” Martin, aid Billy in his quest to win Hope. Songs introduced that later became pop and jazz standards are “Anything Goes”, “You’re the Top”, “All Through the Night”, and “I Get a Kick Out of You”.
