I Dood It

Jimmy Dorsey and his orchestra perform 'One O'Clock Jump' at a nightclub. Connie Shaw, a Broadway star, attends with her fiancé Larry West while Joseph Renolds, an obsessive fan, follows her from show to show. The evening sets up the jealousy and attraction that drive the plot forward.

After the performance, Connie tells her radio audience that she will perform a Western rope dance at a nearby theatre. The tease creates anticipation and hints at onstage passion and danger. Her announcement foreshadows the shifting loyalties that follow.

Connie spots Larry kissing Suretta Brenton, fueling her jealousy. Joseph Renolds retrieves his lost ticket and ends up receiving two kisses from Connie and Suretta. The night deepens Connie's entanglement in a love triangle.

Enamored with Connie, Joe returns to his tailor shop and repays the borrowed suit. The ordinary routine contrasts with Connie's glamorous world and sets Joe on a path that intersects with the star’s life. This mundane moment anchors his devotion to Connie.

On a subsequent night, Connie arrives at the nightclub and finds Larry seated with Suretta again. Enraged, she sits at Joe's table and poses as his date, leading to a dance between the two. The moment deepens their complicated relationship and stirs new tension.

Backstage at Dixie Lou, Roy Hartwood is revealed to be a saboteur, secretly aligned with Axis interests. He is tasked with exiting the theatre the next night so the capsule bomb will demolish it. The plan raises the stakes for the upcoming performances.

Kenneth Lawlor brings Suretta into Connie's dressing room to discuss understudy duties. Connie notices Suretta's ruby bracelet, a symbol of Larry's purchase, and jealousy erupts. In a fit of anger, Connie destroys her dressing room and storms out.

In the hallway, Connie sees Joe and, moved by his devotion, impulsively marries him. The ceremony surprises everyone and drags Joe deeper into Connie's complicated life. The marriage becomes a catalyst for the subsequent misadventures.

Sometime later, Connie and Joe return to the nightclub where she reveals the marriage. She falsely claims Joe owns South African gold mines to impress others. The deception strains their relationship and foreshadows further trouble.

During their honeymoon, Connie writes a farewell letter and plans to depart, placing a sleeping pill in Joe's champagne. Joe switches the glasses, causing Connie to fall asleep instead. The ruse complicates their separation and keeps tensions unresolved.

The next morning, Kenneth, Larry, and Suretta confront Connie with Joe's actual occupation. Ed Jackson arrives and reveals that Joe works as a pants presser. Embarrassed, Connie resolves to divorce Joseph.

Distraught, Joe returns to his workplace and dreams of Connie performing a hula dance. Ed forces him to return to the theatre to see Connie again. The pull of show business and love keeps him entangled.

Kenneth shows investors his next musical revue featuring Hazel Scott and Lena Horne. Joe sneaks in but is ejected, then falls into a crevice outside the theatre dug by Roy Hartwood. He ends up inside Roy's dressing room, having memorized Dixie Lou.

Roy invites Joe to be his understudy since Joe memorized Dixie Lou. Joe performs Roy's part but bungles several cues, incensing Kenneth and the staff. The chaos tests whether Joe can keep his bearings under pressure.

During a performance, Joe realizes Roy is the saboteur and fights him backstage, knocking him unconscious. Connie proclaims her love for Joe, who then defuses the bomb. Impressed by his bravery, Connie makes him co-producer of her next show Star Eyes.
