The compelling story of a man torn between two sets of values. An idealistic small town doctor relocates to the West Indies hoping to end the bubonic-plague epidemic there. This sets off a tragic series of events that forces him to come to terms with his career and personal life.

A musical sparked by Cantor's performance as a hyper-hypochondriac come West for a cure. He offers to give a ride to Sally, a woman in love with a Native American of mixed descent, who is running from an unwanted wedding with another man. But everyone thinks that they have eloped and they pursue the couple. Features some of Busby Berkeley's most fanciful choreography.
