A Classic Story with a Fresh Twist

Faced with danger, they adopt new identities and embark on a chaotic cross-country journey filled with fun and romance.
The story takes a delightful turn as the two protagonists encounter a dazzling singer harboring dreams of stardom, capturing the affections of one of the disguised musicians. Meanwhile, the other finds himself pursued romantically by a wealthy suitor intent on discovering true love, all while avoiding the gangsters hot on their trail.
