Jazz elements influence the entire show as the main characters, Joe and Jerry, are struggling musicians trying to survive on speakeasy performances. Their lives face an unexpected turn of events when they witness a gangster committing a crime in their mob-controlled speakeasy and need to begin cross-dressing to protect their identities as new criminal targets.
Joe reinvents himself as Josephine, while Jerry transforms into Daphne and the two join an all-female swing band. The band's singer Sugar Kane becomes a integral part of their tale as the two men hope to romance her without getting caught. The journey each character faces many tests of their strengths and teaches them valuable lessons about themselves.
